Not really a fan of either Koven or Heller-Nicholas TBH.

Hopefully this will have a more robust encode than the earlier BD. Would like to see them tackle THE PERFUME OF THE LADY IN BLACK and THE SECRET OF DORIAN GRAY too.

Had to Google NSFW.

I hope nobody's reading this site when they're driving a bus or reloading a gun

Any reason to believe it won't be the same?

It's a label release hosted by radiance.

When Radiance announced hosting them in the UK they stated "presenting their catalogue in the UK with all new encodes" that's from their Instagram post on July 12th.

I've seen their first hosted raro title, the night of the devil. It's an older scan but the encoding looks great.

I had no idea, thanks! Do they release standard editions as well, after some time has passed since the limited one?

Probably, the limited editions by radiance get standard releases when they sell out.

They call those that won't get a standard release a single pressing. Which they've done two of so far, Visible secret and allonsanfan.

I assume they will do the same with their hosted labels.

And it does.

DVD Beaver review

The same master with better encoding and further color correction. A new restoration would be preferable, of course, but I guess it's not up to Radiance. At least they proved again they know how to properly improve a source with its limitations.

This movie and some clips just popped up on YouTube as a suggestion for me. Might have to check it out.
