Read more: Sex Life in a Women’s PrisonWhat can I say about this…. well. This would have been a steady seller had we released it earlier, but due to the release of the UA product, we just didn’t think this sex drama would sell against our new UA releases. We had even gone ahead with this label and had given space in…

Read more: ThunderboltHere’s a great example of Italian exploitation. Anthony Eisley heads an all Italian cast in a ‘Bond’ style secret agent adventure, directed by Antonio Margheriti, better known for his Italian sci-fi and thrillers. This tale is pure hokum with Eisley as a U.S. agent going undercover as a rich playboy in order to stop a…

by
Read more: Bullet for a DeadmanThis was a Derann super 8 release of the late 70s’ and was the only film we ever purchased from a vast catalogue of foreign movies from an office in London, (don’t recall it’s name). At the time Derek and myself both thought that edited and repackaged it might sell as ‘Spaghetti Westerns’ were still…

Read more: George Formby SouvenirI’ve tried hard to remember something, anything about where this was acquired, but to no avail. All i can say is that it was a pretty good seller… but all of George’s titles sold well. This is the entry in the 1978 sales catalogue says. “George sings ‘Little Stick of Blackpool Rock’, ‘Guarding the Home…
