I do have an issue with the size though as i say cd ones are lovely to look at but just clutter up as they can't be housed with other cds.

The price as well, the last Iron Maiden one was double the price of a regular cd.


Yeah, I only have 2, the Iron Maiden Book of Souls one and Machine Head Bloodstone & Diamonds, and they have to live on my DVD shelves, which is annoying :nod:

That's a very welcome addition to the collection, especially if the whole film is restored as well as the video suggests.

I have preordered the four titles which have just become available (Blood Harvest, One-Armed Swordsman, The Dragon Missile, and The Ghost Lovers) redeeming 1000 my Skull Points for a £15 voucher.

I wish I had ordered Sea Fog at the same time, but didn't notice it was available, so have contacted the guys to see if there's a way of combining orders or

surprised they didn't put Communion on the reverse given that its the British title... oh well...:rolleyes:

It would appear to be a 'stripped back' version

Looking at the specs, the new Blu-Ray release contains the following special features:
  • All Region Codes
  • NEW (2018) 2K Scan and Restoration from Positive Elements
  • Restored LPCM Original Mono Audio
  • Optional English Subtitles
  • Original Trailer
  • Restoration Comparison
  • Reversible Sleeve
  • Cardboard O-Ring

Compared to the original 88Films DVD release, which contained:
  • All Region Codes
  • ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN 1.85:1 TRANSFER
  • ORIGINAL MONO AUDIO
  • AUDIO COMMENTARY BY DIRECTOR ALFRED SOLE & EDITOR EDWARD SALIER
  • ALTERNATIVE “COMMUNION” TITLE SEQUENCE
  • ORIGINAL TRAILER
  • STILLS GALLERY
  • REVERSIBLE SLEEVE

the Blu-Ray adds a restoration comparison, but loses the commentary, alternate title sequence and stills gallery

Special features matter to me, so I don't think I would bother with the new re-issue

The 88 Films Thread
 
Plus.....you get a reverse that has no mention of the slasher collection, for the people that 88 think aren’t buying these because they’re part of a collection.

Surprised they didn’t tout that as a special feature. It’s a complete pisstake that companies need to list stuff like audio and subtitles as special features to make it look like there’s anything on a disc. Let’s be honest, the only “special” features on the blu-ray are the comparison and a trailer.

I don't mind too much. It would be better if there were new extra features, but the big selling point for me is the remastered picture and sound, and I would probably keep the DVD anyway (I have two versions: Hen's Tooth and 88 Films) so if I want to listen to the commentary, it's not an inconvenience to find a disc with it.

Really excited that it's getting a Blu-ray release. But weren't Warner's putting this out?
