Maybe this frees up some of those titles for other companies!

Absolutely right!
Who would have hesitated had the below been used?

I have a fair few of their titles, and some poor transfers and shitty cover art aside, they did have a fairly decent catalogue.

As Phil said, I'm also very interested to see if anyone picks up any titles from their catalogue...

Redemption.

Sad news indeed. A truly innovative company responsible for releasing some real rare gems in the early 90s and beyond. Unfortunately they also happened to be around during the Ferman junta.

Their covers always split opinion, but their choice and range of films was inspired.

It was.
Very clever as well.All of those films they picked up for video release in the nineties,they probably got for peanuts,as the rights holders probably thought,'Who are these headbangers buying up all these obscurities?'
Never thinking for a minute that people would actually buy them.
Now,getting the rights to Eurotrash is a fortune I believe.

So yes,shitty covers aside,I salute you Redemption.

I had some great times there in the 90s. Still, if they find a buyer they won't be going anywhere.

I hope they do.
It's always sad to see an indie company go.Especially one that's been around so long.

A valid point.
Would gialli have been as popular in this country,had it not been for Redemption?
