Yes, they said so in a comment to one of their two latest post on facebook.

I welcome another 88 Films sale. It's been a while, I think. Colour me stoked.

SAUCY 70s! - A British Sex Comedy Threesome - DELUXE COLLECTORS EDITION

From the era that also bought us the seedier Carry On films and the Confessions… movies there also came a run of other ‘delightfully of their time’ British sex comedies. This beautifully presented set brings together three of those typically silly and salacious soft porn romps in Zeta One (1970), Au Pair Girls (1972) and The Sex Thief (1973). Combining elements of science fiction, crime and plenty of smut these movies could only have sprung from that strangely odd time which fell somewhere between the dying sixties and the Deep Throat generation.

Featuring an eclectic mix of talent including James Robertson Justice (Doctor in the House), Me Me Lai (The Man from Deep River), Charles Hawtrey, (Carry on up the Jungle) and Diane Keen (Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush) these films are at least guaranteed to raise a smile if nothing else…

Daring, daft and unspeakably naughty, here is a threesome you’ll never forget.
