And... Again, we'd suggest that anyone unhappy with their purchases of the recent Icon DVD releases of classic Hammer titles also comments on Icon's facebook page, or contacts them direct.
And... More mistakes with the Icon discs... original certs on The Abominable Snowman & Captain Kronos are indeed wrong. Well spotted all who did so. Wrong covers were printed.
And finally (so far) the "wrong" master of The Quatermass Ex/X-periment was authored and pressed so film and cover don't tally (as spotted).

I don't know, there are just too many balls ups and the fire seems to be a convenient excuse, without wanting to be too light about something like that. There are other releases around the world and other masters. It's basically all an extreme lack of effort and quality control on Icon's part.
These films should be national treasures and they've been quite horrifically treated in an age where producing a satisfactory DVD of something which has a usable master somewhere in the world should be second nature. Seriously, some of the errors that seem to have occured are quite childish.
