Sorry to say I'm really not too fussed, I wasn't interested in the NoShame release and I'm not very interested in the Shameless one. Maybe Sham41 will turn things around?

Excellent news two releases I have never seen. Nice to see Shameless back in the swing of things!

Ahh shameless, how I hate to love thee sometimes. After a long wait we get Confessions of a Fake 70s Porno and Adventures of a Sexy Nurse. And to think we had Amsterdamned and House with Laughing Windows last Christmas. Oh well maybe next year we'll get Rocky and Rambo instead of The Italian Stallion.

oh At last. This title I DO like very much. Can hardly wait to get it. I nearly missed it due to my disappointment of Viva.

I've been after the NoShame release of this one for what seems like years, but the prices are always ridiculous. So whilst I will be very happy to acquire the UK release, I honestly can't believe that it has been chosen for release on the Shameless label.

It seems to me that the label has lost its way somewhat. When you consider how many gialli, poliziotteschi and other interesting Italian language films from the 60s, 70s and 80s have been given good quality, albeit non-English friendly, releases on DVD in Italy, then the masters for such releases obviously exist. Is the only reason preventing such interesting releases the fact that copyright holders are requesting too much money for UK home video rights?

I hope the Shameless release uses this artwork somewhere.

I don't see your point. What is about the shameless releases that makes you critisize the quality. As I understand it, Shameless often has specially restored releases with footage form many origins to make the editions as complete as possible. That could be why the quality is not always 201x-year-like. But considering the age of the films and the filming-material used (not always high-class quality) than it is perfectly understandable to my why the quality sometimes is a little weak.

Besides I think Shameless and Italian distributors hardly use the same masters; that is, as you state, due to copyright-reasons.

I think g053584398 is saying that there's far more deserving titles that should get a release rather than The Nurse. He doesn't critisize the quality of Shameless's release just questions their choices of new releases, which rather alot of us are as well.

WELCOME BACK SHAMELESS!

It's been wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too long

You don't seem to have read my post properly. To say that you've got hold of the wrong end of the stick is something of an understatement.
