I have a noticeably better quality version, of the full length film, than what’s here. I emailed RareFilmms to see if they want it. Hopefully they can replace this one.

Hey Dan,
Could you email me a link for it? It’s the shorter BBC version right? My email is [email protected], we can talk about more about it there 🙂

Thank you!
Jon.

I have a DVD rip that used to be in the old torrent sources years ago, it is SD but the quality is decent enough if that helps. It is in English.

Hey Barton, that’s a great find, I’ll be definitely interested in seeing the original version, do you have a way to digitize it by any chance? If not let me know maybe we can figure a way to do it, I know someone in the UK who can digitize it and won’t charge anything, he’s reliable, just let me know, feel free to drop me an email if you want.
Thank you,
Jon.

I have the original BBC version of Death And The Compass, though I can’t vouch for its quality after all these years. I recorded the original broadcast in 1992 on the oldest VHS cassette I own, which itself dates back to perhaps as long ago as 1979.

Amazing film from the perennially underrated Alex Cox.
