Additionnal Infos And Comments :


- Differents bonus as the USA version, different menu as well

- The 1975 NYC footage as bonus , 3 songs, just for that bonus this Blu Ray is the one to get

- Just the bonus part of this releases is worth the price

- Amazing picture and sound quality , that should be noted

- Omissions like Peace Medal 1978 , Nesta's early years in the ghetto, Omeriah Malcolm , Nesta in Sweden , the perfect movie simply do not exist

- Terror released on 7"s as bob martin on Beverley's was offered by an anonymous collector
but not used for the main documentary, in fear of his effect

- There's no liner notes, quite sad
