There are far less titles now that would necessitate cuts and I for one would have loved to have saved money on imports over the years. Hopefully new collectors in the UK can be spared some of that. |
I agree that attracting new collectors is a good idea but I think the old Vipco policy of releasing notorious films with the very scenes that made them notorious edited out did their reputation no good and would also have alienated new fans.
It looked like they were just cashing in on unsuspecting buyers
