EXTRA INFORMATION - This seems to be the oldest version without asian subtitles and was also the same version that was reportedly being sold via SongOfTheSouth.net, apperently sourced from Korean laserdisc for the DVD. I've gotten this version in multiple trades over the last few years and from I bought a copy from eBay in 2001.
UPDATE: 7/9/06
I've gotten a report that this was sourced from the Korean laserdisc, I'm not 100% sure of the source but if the video is from laserdisc they did a very poor transfer as the video really looks like VHS to me.

INTERVIEWS MENU - No track selection and this version lost the interactiveness of the original DVD, tracks play as one continuous track but includes the following titles "How do you do?", "Sooner or Later", "Uncle Remus Said", "Everybody got a Laughing Place" and "Zip-A-Dee Doo Dah" Day.
EXTRA INFORMATION - This DVD is a reauthored version of the “Coal Black Easter Egg” version. The creator of the DVD has added english subtitles that can be selected on and off as well as adding the "Coal Black" as a Special Feature instead of a hidden egg. I'm really not sure how old this version is but I got my first copy of this one about 6 months ago.
