Never knew about this. Great find!

Thanks šŸ˜€

I suppose this can be preserved by re-insterting it into the 2002 Pan and Scan DVD, which also has ā€œWhen Love is Goneā€.

I would presume so, but I donā€™t know if there were any other little changes. I suppose I could easily do that at least as a stopgap.

Iā€™m no expert, but itā€™s my understanding that these syndicated TV edits of films would usually add a lot of cut material to pad the running time to neatly fill a broadcast timeslot.

And On a VHS Release too?

Which song do you mean?

WLIG was also on many (all?) pre-DVD home video releases. Of course, there is now an HD version of WLIG from the digital releaseā€™s extras which has even been fan-edited back into the film very nicely.

As for the extended Marley song, I believe its visuals are unique to the old TV version, though Iā€™d love to be wrong about this.
