THE DVD of The Hours and Times - a fictionalised film version of the trip John Lennon and Brian Epstein took together to Barcelona in 1963 - is finally to be released.

Nominated for Best Director (Christopher Munch) and the Grand Jury Prize at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival, The Hours And Times convincingly conveys the complex emotional reality of Epstein and Lennon's strong and curious friendship.

The DVD will be released on June 4.
