"House on the Edge of the Park - Update

Hi, thanks everyone for your patience. We are so nearly there now with finishing off the House on the Edge of the Park replacement disc. We have final check discs in hand and they are being tested for compatibility while I type this.

This project has turned out to be a far bigger one for us than we initially envisioned. The mistakes on the first release are inexcusable, but they were also SOO frustrating, at least 4 different people viewed those initial discs and no issues were raised with the audio...... mistake number 1

The cropping we did notice but were unable to obtain another master from our supplier as were told that it was necessary due to stabilisation, so we figured it would be ok........ mistake number 2.....

Anyway, what happened happened, we put out a sub par product that judging from the reviews an awful lot of people were still very happy with, but we didn't want to leave it like that, especially after we had issues with Hell of the Living Dead at the same time.

So, we managed to finally obtain access to the negative scans and discovered to our dismay they were done on a blackmagic scanner and we would be fighting a uphill battle to improve upon the first master. So we took the decision with the very kind permission of our licensor and their agent to move the negative to another facility with a pin registered scanner. After receiving those and verifying we definitely had the full frame to work with we went ahead and commissioned a bran new from the ground up restoration and Dolby Vision grade which thankfully, we're over the moon about.

So this is a heads up to explain why the replacement discs will look so different to the first incarnations and also why it's taken so long. We have definitely lost a lot of money on this release but we really want you to be able to experience this landmark film the way it should be....... finally.

Thanks for your support and patience."
