Shame those second two will be US only and will need to be imported.

It's only Pray for Death which will be US only so no need to worry!

It's only Pray for Death that's US only.

Ha,ha! Look at us swooping in like vultures over a carcass.

That's a relief – I thought all three were. I've been waiting for a good release of The Witch Who Came from the Sea to appear for years.

I'll be picking up Sheba Baby and American Horror Project Vol. 1... although I may wait for individual releases on those (if they are going to be releasing them individually that is).

I have no interest in Pray for Death... which is convenient as I won't need to import. 101 Films will be releasing this in the UK which is why Arrow couldn't secure UK rights for the title.

Yep, time to retire my US Subversive Cinema DVD.

I'd never buy the 101 Pray For Death when there's a release out there that won't have 6 ratings logos plastered all over it. 🤗

Ditto.

It didn't make much sense for Sheba Baby to be US only when Coffy and Foxy Brown have been released by Arrow Video in the UK.

Post from Arrow regarding booklets:

We are changing our policy on booklets. We've been printing booklets for six years now and it's pretty clear that with eroding prices as releases get older and with rising costs of printing shorter and shorter runs through a product's lifecycle this isn't sensible (the shorter the run the higher the expense, whereas a shorter run is usually sold at the lowest price)! From the outset newer releases will factor in booklets as limited edition runs with follow on editions without booklets. From our research it looks as though only the select few read or care about these booklets and it's likely that these people are purchasing at or near the start of a product's lifecycle. So releases like My Darling Clementine, Nekromantik, Hellraiser, Black Cats and so on utilise this new tendency and have allowed us to create much larger and more expansive books in the process (Nekromantik 1&2 100 pages each, Black Cats 80 pages, Hellraiser 200 pages) which would have been unthinkable before. This means that any follow on edition will be without a booklet but will be at a cheaper price. We will endeavour to make booklets available by alternate means in the future, whether as downloadable PDFs, a separate book compendium, through or website or otherwise (we are exploring various options) and we don't think there will be just one solution, but a variety for all kinds of experiences and customers.

Good! Now I don't have to get mad whenever I open an Arrow blu-ray to find a ripped booklet.
