They're not yet posted or announced on the 88 Films site. I don't do social media so I've not seen any reveals. Glad they're carrying on with them.

[NoirFan]

They're in the Coming Soon section (which is where I got the images from).

Heres my asia/ italian line, all slips until the recent titles sadly

We didn't mention we were doing that?

88, what source did you use for Amazonia? OCN? IP?
also, you guys do isolated scores?

OCN and no.

Impatiently waiting for my order with Alice Sweet Alice to ship, jealous of every one who has received their notice.

My copy of Dragon Missile turned up from Zavvi today (5 days early) and surprisingly it came with a slipcover.

Unlike my previous 88 Asia slipcovers this one was UK certification law compliant* (certificate logo on front cover and advice box on rear, though thankfully no logo on spine), shrink wrapped over slipcover and had full synopsis, credits and copyright info on the rear rather than an image from film. Wonder if this means that from now on all retail copies will come with slipcovers?

*Earlier slipcovers got around this by being described as website exclusive free gifts rather than part of the over all product.

Dragon Missile has finally shown up on HMVs site, so I’ve ordered from there this evening, not really bothered about slips for these, but will report back on whether it has one when it arrives (the picture on the site shows the slip art).

[Markgway]

Why not just put an easy peel BBFC sticker on the slip?

If the item is shrinkwrapped it won't come off.

Just a heads up Alice sweet alice with website exclusive slipcover is almost sold out so order quick as the next pressing will not have the slip

[Dickieduvet]

88 direct delivery & picked a few up in HMV.

Watched Alice & Blood Harvest last night.

Blood Harvest was a blind buy, it's amazing..how did I miss this??

Great job on Alice too, really enjoyed revisiting it.

Phew ok thats made my day.

My "Alice, Sweet Alice" blu is in the post. However, considering I'm in the US, I expect it'll still be a little while before I actually receive it. Looking forward to it, though!

Are there any reviews/screencaps for Offerings? This comment on the Dork Farce disc has me awaiting my order with unease:

If it's another Mutant (apparently worse!) I may just put my sealed copy up on Amazon. Assumedly the transfer is the same for both the US and the UK discs?

Anyone know when this Asia collection sale ends? Thanks [emoji846]

I don't have offerings yet but a friend of mine said the 88 one looks great. If you had the dvd release the difference is apparently night and day which sounds really good to me

New blog post.
Calum writes that one of these 10 films are set for a 88 films release. We can exclude some of them outright, leaving:

Street Law (Enzo G. Castellari, 1974)

The Gestapo's Last Orgy (Cesare Canevari, 1976)

The Heroin Busters (Enzo G. Castellari, 1978)

Contraband (Lucio Fulci, 1980)

The Bronx Warriors (Enzo G. Castellari, 1982)

Eleven Days, Eleven Nights (Joe D'Amato 1987)

Killer Crocodile (Fabrizio De Angelis, 1989)

Maybe we can exclude even more? There's a somewhat recent DVD release of Contraband by Shameless.

Contraband is being released in Germany by FilmArt. I'll wait for their release. I trust them much more than 88 Films.
