No one ever worked out what the fourth title was though so they could possibly release it yet.

The main problem was they released their edition two weeks before Blue Underground did, by the time the Exposure edition was in the shops reviews had already appeared for the Blue Underground edition. What are cult film fans going to trust a well know respected label or a tiny UK indie?
A fair point. Especially given the precarious nature of the quality of Italian titles transfer wise. Personally I would prefer to chance a smaller UK indie label, the sleeve art was a big factor in my decision to go with the exposure release as was the extras and after checking out my friends bu release I feel my decision was the right one. Basically I do feel smaller labels need to be given a chance otherwise we may end up relying too much on U.S & European releases.
