What's with the sleeve censorship? If you're going to have the same cover as the original Go VHS release, don't put a big black splodge on it!

DJR662 · 07-28-2017, 11:33 PM

Another Franco hits Blu-ray.

Still waiting on the one I would really want: Faceless.

Maybe it's uncensored/logo-less on the reverse?

MarcM · 07-29-2017, 01:50 AM

That's the original Go Video sleeve, as is.

If you have an uncensored version of this sleeve, please send it to us as I've never seen one.

Will the weird windowboxing on some sections of the Kino be addressed?

MarcM · 07-29-2017, 02:36 PM

It has been fixed, as have the numerous audio problems. Many scenes were out of sync, others scenes had incorrect audio, or German audio etc.

Pikylechu · 07-29-2017, 03:34 PM

Down for this! Is this part of the line that Lady Frankenstein and Death Laid an Egg might have started due to the success of the indiegogo campaign? If so, any chance of a matching slip?

Sold. Will the English version be in HD, and what kind of source is it from? If so, hope you can use a BD50.

Hey Marc, thanks for clarifying. Your credentials are peerless on the matter but perhaps it's the contrast on the image here. Yes, I do have an original Go release of this and yes, I have the impression it has more clear detail around the crotch (ahem) but I'll have to dig it out to be certain I'm not misremembering. Until then, your reply wording suggests this is indeed a censored image as per original tape cover as opposed to being uncensored? All I can see is a black ink blot on these which is not what I have on the tape, I'm sure. I'll dig it out and report back here.

Looks like a great release, been longing to finally have this on disc.

Skip this horrible uk tape artwork and bring on original french cover!

No way. This cover's a bit special, quite limited and wonderfully tasteless. Marc's ART OF THE NASTY book didn't even have it when the book was being compiled IIRC, just the boring version. It's a UK release so makes sense to use the notorious artwork.

Marc, you're quite correct, the original tape cover has been censored alright. In my defence, it's been boxed away with my Go Video WOMEN BEHIND BARS and other delights in my parent's house for years (if only they knew). My mind has played tricks on me, I guess my younger self saw what he wanted to see.

Still, I applaud the choice, it's a bizarre and eye catching cover. Will definitely by something on my shopping list.

Down to £9.99 at HMV and Amazon. I'm hoping my local HMV will have it in stock next week.

the blob · 11-06-2017, 08:33 PM

Not in stock in my local and HMV online, and jumped up to £21.99 at Amazon. I'm guessing because HMV have no stock. I've just put an HMV order in while it's still £9.99.

@MarcM

Has the release date changed?

the blob · 11-07-2017, 12:26 PM

Just got a shipping notice and it's in stock at HMV online.

Interestingly, Amazon now says released 20th November...

Strange, my Amazon UK order status is "arriving tomorrow". Haven't had a dispatch notice though.

I used the try Prime for £1 offer to grab next day delivery on a bargain LP and only cancelled my HMV Demons order because of the lack of movement and news and to take advantage of the quicker delivery. Oh well, their loss (and my re Pure points)

Ste7en · 11-07-2017, 02:51 PM

My copy went from preparing to ship to them telling me there has been a change to the release date. Delivery has been bumped from tomorrow to the 22nd November. Balls!

Same here. Order cancelled as I'll probably now get it quicker ordering from HMV.

Jack.A.Napes · 11-07-2017, 07:12 PM

HMV Leeds didn't have it in store yet, so I've just ordered online.
