"this album is not available at the present time, this is a crime, of all of the music that has been produced for televison, the roots album is the most to the point when looking at the african american experience during their first 200 years here in america. this cd is a must for all americans!"

"I have the album which someone gave me after the series aired back in the 70s. I'd love to have it on CD but it's impossible to find. Is there someone out there who can pull some strings to get this classic released on CD?"

"Words alone cannot describe the true joy of listening to this beautiful cd!! It is such a joyious occasion, you have no idea what your missing if you haven't heard this recording. I am extremely proud to have this along with the color purple on cd in my collection. The music is so beautiful and inspirational you could play this cd 1000 times and never get bored. Quincy Jones is without question beyond brilliant!! If you are lucky enough to hear this music, you'll know exactly what I mean. More than incredible!! It'll make you proud!"

"The Roots: Music From and Inspired By The David L. Wolper Production of Roots [Soundtrack] is one of the most fantastic I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. I have searched high and low for this. I once owned and had it lost somehow. I have been trying to find another copy ever since. Anyone who has this in their collection should hold on to it for furture generations to come. It is definitely a plus for the culture of African Americans and for Quincy Jones."
