I brought The Slayer under the label ''Beyond Terror'' from HMV a few weeks back.
When I saw it I thought as the film is not widely available I can upgrade my Vipco Vaults version,expecting a better quality print.
I was surprised to find myself watching an identical print but a vipco St disc.It was annoying to buy a duplicate in drag,and pure lazyness not to change the disc name as well as the artwork.
I like vipco,however with the new BT Range they have not put any of the films through resubmitance to my knowledge,merely repackaged the same crap and in some cases cut transfers.For the most part they would get through uncut now.
Mind you I think that for thoose new to the titles now get a chance to pick them up again.
HMV seems to be having a classic frenzy at the mo bringing in many nasties and exploitation classics from various labels back in,including the piss poor VHS to Dvd releases by video international which make vipco look like blu ray.
I have most the original vipco vaults on dvd (picture sleeves),however If anyone has Asylum and/or House of lost souls for sale give me a yell.
For those in or near Brighton 'HD2' store in St James Street currently have a fair whack of vipco both Vhs and dvd St and vaults
