The thing is they tend to roll-out simultaneous releases and the UK gets missed. In 2013 they released Price's House of Wax in the US, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain yet there was no UK release. It's not an isolated case either and tends to be the norm unfortunately. It's great to see them finally deciding to give the UK fans a slew of their titles, albeit via an exclusive partnership (at present).

CR is a boutique label releasing rare oddities that most other labels wouldn't even dream of touching let alone restoring and slapping on a disc. Warner releases mainly mainstream fare and have a massive amount of resources and capital behind them.
