Well spotted! I have passed this info on to Shameless.

Not too fond about the cover art to be honest (especially the already mentioned quote), but all the same I'm hoping for some really cool reversible art.

Good to see this being a fan edition, but I think the most important question is if it will include a decent sounding italian soundtrack!

Not seen this one, but I like the cover

I've got two different designs of the original Italian 2-sheet for this title, i'll see if i can dig them out and photograph them tomorrow, think i've got a jpg of the locandina somewhere as well, which is yet another design.

Me neither & it's one I know little about.

But judging by the amount of kudos it's getting here, I should be in for a treat, so it's now pre-ordered.

Is it this one? I'd be interested to know iif there's a different locandina design though (this is the only one I've seen so far)

You all spoke and Shameless listened!

The offending quote with it's dubious grammar will be removed from the finalised artwork.

Result!

Yes that was the locandina i was thinking of Jonny, i think the 4-fogli is the same design.Here's one of the 2-Fogli designs i have for this film, this one i had restored and linenbacked, i have the other design in my box but this one is folded, haven't had time today but i'll try and dig it out this week.

Cheers Jonny, bit of a story behind this one, got the poster years ago for about £10 on ebay BUT ! there was a problem the original Italian title had been painted over for reuse in a Belgian[?] cinema ,you could see the Italian title bleeding through under the paint, i decided to have a go at removing the paint VERY CAREFULLY, using lighter fuel and cotton wool, and some of the paint came off ! At this point i contacted an expert linenbacker/poster restorer in the US, who told me he could remove all the paint, in fact the photo i posted doesn't do it justice, because that photo was sent to me just before it was completed, the fold lines were air brushed a bit more, they are near invisible now.Here's what the poster looked like before the restoration;
