The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971) Special 4k Remastered Limited Edition (Screenbound)

[Sergeant Howie]

I suppose it only really matters if there's provenance. Does Yoko Ono-Lennon own #1 of the "White Album"? Has Paul McCartney hung on to his #2 copy? But then, as each of these owners and many of us know, and to quote Stephen Tompkinson, "there's other things in life, y'know, that's... more important".


Then again, my copy of BOSC (with added written prefix "The", and ALSO KNOWN AS: Satan's Skin on the back) has just arrived, in one of those unpadded, but sturdy Amazon.co.uk card envelope mailers (so much more protective than one of those awful, miss-sold bubble-wrap paper bags then). The Slipcase is perfect (hope I keep it that way as I've only got the one). I am reluctant to open it, as though it were Pandora's Box, but I can confirm the revised 'Skull' artwork and Linda Hayden's one eye [kinda fits after all, if y'all know what I mean], peeping out from behind the 'crow' die-cut slipcase design.

But best of all, my number is 1590–4000. 1590, the year of the North Berwick Witch Trials (East Lothian, Scotland), the "first major witchcraft persecution in Scotland". I have lived in the county for 40 years. Brilliant, just brilliant. Made my day, after just being turned down for another job.
