this is hardly an obscure title. this movie is the reason reggae become popular in the US. The soundtrack was ranked as the number 119 album of all-time. This is not soundtrack albums but overall albums.

Seeing as how Criterion gave us a couple months notice, I didn't think it would be so hard to get. With DVDPlanet and almost everywhere else being on back-order, I haven't been able to locate one as of yet. I currently have three orders placed and the first one that ships gets my money and I'll cancel the other two. A bit of a pain in the ass, but I don't want to be looking for this come September!

>>a better Criterion is coming to replace it.
---
Dont bet on it. There are dozens of still in print Criterions waiting in line for anamorphic treament....and for a long time, too-like PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK. Its got to be VERY specail before they will re release something. And J. Mulvaney pretty much puts the kibosh on improving transfers that are already "good enough"-his words.

I ordered this from DVD Planet not knowing it was out of stock. So then I went and bought a copy from an Amazon seller. And today DVDPlanet sent me a shipped notification. So, check the exchange board as I'm looking to trade!

Just received mine off of eBay. $25.99 shipped. Not bad, don't think they will be going at salo prices, but I didn't want to miss out just in case I ever did want it.

I ordered this from dvd planet after it went on backorder and got the shipping notice on it today. I would imagine most retailers will get more stock on this and everyone who wants one can get one.

Copies are disappearing and this has yet to be officially announced on the Criterion website. Despite that, I still think the relative unpopularity of the movie will yield many opportunities for interested parties to get one before it becomes anything close to scarce.
