Am I just imaging this or is there a third Deeper Roots comp with Yabby You coming from Pressure Sounds?

You might confusing it with the Shananchie release? They Are supposed to release 3 CD set of Yabby best hits & on the third set some unreleased stuff! Its about time someone released some heavy stuff of Yabby You since B&F's Jesus Dread!

Can someone explain if Deeper Roots I & II brings anything more - except
a couple rarities say - to the table vs. the 3 LP BF set from a few years ago?

Havent had time to dig into it.

PS: Can't prevent from commenting on all the artworks associated to these YY releases: poor work (sorry BF people, sorry PS people). The BF has the text written on top of Yabby You's face - ridiculous. No to mention the stupid masking tape trick to give the image "depth". The PS artwork I won't even start. Respect to all re-issue labels nevertheless. Just copy paste this:

Long time gone the era of album artwork mastery, Tony Wright type quality, like this:

Nah, not mistaking it for the Dread Prophecy release. I think I read it in a post on here or BAF but then again the person who wrote it could have been speculating as there are plenty more Yabby dubplate material out there that would do justice with a real release instead of bootleggers selling them off on ebay.

As for the covers I personally like them. The time when labels could spend x-amount of cash on something that would cover a reggae album is way long gone Im afraid.

And concerning Deeper Roots 1 & 2 vs Jesus Dread, the later wins every time as it contains all the classics and then some.
