I don't mind non-anamorphic releases of 1.66:1 films very much at all, so that is fine, but I do prefer good transfers and uncut!

I know the Encore releases are the most collectible (and increasingly expensive!) but are they necessarily the best? How are the Redemptions?

I am particularly interested in:

The Living Dead Girl
Fascination

The Grapes Of Death
Frissons des Vampires
Requiem For A Vampire
La Vampire Nué


but open to recommendations over other films.

I've looked on DVD Compare, but wanted some "horse's mouth" information from you good people.
All the Dutch Encore special editions are Uncut except for 1 which is missing 7 secs.

Also the Encore special editions are the best editions of those films.

That reminds me to pay someone on this forum for the rest of the Encore special editions sets as I got Lips of Blood off a different member.
