Thumbs up man. Looks really good! BTW: Any chance to get the song “Other men’s gold” as bonus on the “Sledge” release?
I guess for bonus feature wishes it is a bit late… I also assume that music licensing is a whole other matter.
Why was this release canceled?
Licensing issues have held this back unfortunately
I dug the hell out of it, I wish Garner had made more. The release is great as well

Is this Blu-ray going to be the uncut version of Face to Face? That would be fantastic!
Face to Face: there exists no HD master of the uncut version. So the double pack BluRay/DVD edition will contain the shorter cut on BluRay and the uncut version on DVD.
If someone can help out finding a complete English track for the uncut version, they can include that. So if you know, please do help out.
Well doesn’t the Japanese DVD have the complete track? The quality just isn’t very good but I assume they can use that track only for the scenes missing from the shorter version? I can of course send a copy of the disc if needed (or maybe you/they should get a cinemageddon account and download it from there 
). I don’t think it exists in any better quality as far as home video goes.
If the original material is in fact in too poor shape, a better quality (than the one on DVD) track might exist on some Scandinavian print (The Danish Film Institute might for example have one, as they even have the complete English track for the Specialist). Then again the audio tracks on those prints might be in even worse shape and I assume Explosive won’t go hunting for a print from archives.
Hmmm… Why not make it possible to play a combined version with the missing HD elements shown in SD ? Just as an option.
Yea but it would look shitty I guess… if the source material is just not good enough, the upscaling of that material will look extremely out of place
Ahr, good dvd material combined with HD can’t be that bad. I’ve seen mixed source releases that looked pretty respectable. Just as an option mind you. Who wants to watch a cut version of Face to Face?
It takes some work of course and I understand that it is easier not to present it as an option.
Well presented with not watching an HD version of it at all… it’s probably the lesser of all evils, but granted, I do wish someone would unearth a high quality transfer somewhere…
I would prefer an uncut VHS full screen version to a cut HD version.
Ha, ha indeed…infact I do have an uncut vhs 
The Extended Director’s Cut of Once Upon a Time in America on Blu-ray is an example of good quality HD material mixed in with poor quality SD material. I would suggest they either use seamless branching on one BD or provide 2 BDs including one cut version only in HD and one uncut version with additional SD scenes.
How is the English audio on that one? Is it better than the Japanese DVD? If so, Explosive Media need a copy!
Better than the Japanese dvd. The audio is clear with no dropouts. My dvd recorder is broke, but by all means if Explosive Media want to buy me a new dvd recorder they can have a copy of my vhs
