    Full-joyed this film, excellently produced. V.Rocket was a heavy weight sound back in the day. Parliament was not only the boss but he was a wicked operator, him and Ruben was a powerful combination. Ruben was a ruff neck selector who gave every sound worries! Maximum respect V.Rocket family, great to see Parliament son carrying on the legacy.

    X amount of love and respect to the V.Rocket family. This is an amazing film and story. It’s great seeing Parliament’s son Belly (bad selector) taking the leadership with Val B and Lady V’s son taking position. This is the power of a dynasty. 🚀🚀👏👏🚀🚀👏👏🚀🚀

    Absolutly Brilliant, a superb capture of the Great V. Rocket's musical Journe!! . A great sound that has been up there from way back and still relevant today, I heard them 40 odd years ago and then went to Nottingham and heard them in there domain at the Marcus Garvey Centre, Hyson Green, The Palais and somewhere called Acna (i think) and many other places, Nottingham was sweet them days ( big up Rock City). I then Heard them up and down the country and they always performed good. A lovely set of people who have kept the sound system fire burning and all manners and respect to the Full crew, Parliament , Rueben, Lady V and all the others past and present members on your achievements. Thanks for keeping us entertained for so long, and may you continue to strive, Maximum Raspect everytime.
    Big up to the Film maker you did good.

    Loved this film. V Rocket had one of the very best sounds (equipment wise) in the UK. Sounded perfect every time.
    And that Jammys dub box!
    Reuben once told me that when artists came to the UK and stayed in Nottingham, Valerie would ask him if he wanted to cut any dubs with them. Reuben always said no because he was only interested in cutting specials in Jamaica where artists would perform at their best. That's how sophisticated they were compared to most other UK sounds.

I can't lie, I use to love raving in the midlands. Them Vibes were very different to London. Had some real memorable times.

And this bredda looking llike giant haystacks, chatting bout Valeries looks. Sorry, I found it offensive. However, that is the only bum note, in an otherwise brilliant video. Nuff Respect!
