i have to say im a purist when it comes to the artwork for these releases,Rick Meltons cover art just doesnt cut it when compared with the original posters art work.
Tom Chantrells artwork for dawn of the dead is a stunning piece of movie art but i equally like the US versions of dawn of the dead.
Would i buy the dvd based on that cover art no,but i have bought dvds purely for their cover art,the original R1 cover art for conan was the same as the original Thorn emi release and the original poster art work by renato casaro just hasnt been issued with the uk releases.
i know those covers for arrow re releases are double sided and to get me to buy them they would need to be.
in short if it aint broke dont try n fix it.
this applies to cover art only not giving the best quality prints and extras available to the public.
