Its always great to track down something rare that you have been yearning for for a long time.

I remember walking into a shop in Fareham at the time, picking it up, um-ing-and-ah-ing and then putting it back because I couldn't justify the expense of getting it!

Damn - curse me!!!!

Taken from melonfarmers:

The film was released in cinemas with around a minute of BBFC cuts in October 1974.
It was released uncut in January 1983 by Iver Film Services. By November 1983 it had been listed as a video nasty and suffered a successful prosecution. It remained on the list throughout the panic and so became one of the collectable DPP 39s.

In 1993 there was a mysterious uncut Vipco version. It was nominally slated as pre-cut but somehow got a limited unsanctioned uncut release. It was withdrawn within days.

In 1999 the video was released on the Satanica label, in a version that was obviously taken from Vipco's planned cut version (Vipco's logo remains). This time the distributor removed every single violent scene before submitting it to the censors.

The same heavily pre-cut version was released on 2002 DVD by Film 2000.

Passed 18 uncut with previous BBFC cuts waived and distributor cuts restored for the UK 2012 Nucleus DVD

Neither did I, I remember something being mentioned about it in the Dark Side at the time, in the Post Mortem section I believe

Saw it a while back and thought it was pretty decent, certainly worth snagging for a quid. I've been after a release of sorcerer for a while now (always putting it off in favour of other titles.) but for a quid there was no excuses!
