From Record Collector page 140 Christmas 2013 issue. In the pipeline to be issued 2/14. The Best Years Special Edition 3CD/DVD.

OMG! That would be totally awesome. I can only guess at the dvd, but it must be, mustn't it??

Hope so!

It has to be - couldn't be anything else (I wouldn't have thought)

Surely this would be on the main site by now?

Good point. Surely there would be some mention of it on the official site by now? I personally can't see it being released before February 2015 when the 40th anniversary of Best Years of Our Lives takes place. Hope I'm wrong but I think we've got another year to wait.

Sorry Mrs Raffles and Paul, all I was doing was passing some details that were printed in Record Collector to the Fan base.Obviously I was wrong, goes to show you should never believe what you read.

It may be true Boz and me and many others want it to happen. The 'Between the Lines' film finally making it on to an official DVD release. I'm sure that plans could be in the pipeline but it just seems so unlikely that it will see the light of day this year. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

June 2014.according to a fan posting on the official site on the thread best years live.

Still something 'fishy' about this. Why no mention on the official site about this release? I've only seen it advertised on one site (spin cds ) Nothing at all on Amazon which is strange for something that is due out next month. Hope I'm wrong because I love the album and want to see 'Between the Lines' and 'Starfighter' get an 'official' release on DVD. Long overdue.

Love the tracklisting. Looks like the complete Hammy 75 gig on audio cd but only the 30minute Between the Lines film on DVD.What about the 'Starfighter' half? Still waiting 'official' news of it's release.

It sounds very tasty indeed. The 30 min Between The Lines DVD is the big carrot, a brilliant addition to the set (sick of my dodgy copy), although Starfighter would been an unexpected and mindblowing 'extra' bonus. I somehow doubt this version of The Best Years will be released next month, but fingers crossed.

I wonder how much it will retail at on release? I've seen the ebay, and online pre order price. I imagine Amazon will shave a little more off the asking price? Here's hoping.

Confirmed on the main site

Great news!

Good to read a posting by you Ray! excellent news re Best Years and following on from Cavaliers! Lets hope Timeless Flight follows in 12/18 months!

Lets keep our fingers crossed that the presentation and quality especially of the dvd is MUCH better than the Birmingham dvd which i had to replace twice before giving up!

Available to pre-order on Amazon at £27.99.
