Better to upload them on the filmās picture page in the database then tell us youāve done it here. That way thereāll be there for folk to see whenever and adds to the DB.
The page is here: Blindman/Pictures - The Spaghetti Western Database
Uploading is straightforward.
Not sure if Lord Brett has an account on the DB. I can add these pics to the DB if you want me to, Lord Brett.
Thanks, Iāll do that. About to go on holiday, so itāll probably be a couple of weeks before I do the scans, but itāll be nice to put them out there.
Iāve scanned the pics so can send them through however itās done. Mickey, Iāve sent you a PM.
I finally managed to win a copy of the Koch release. Looking forward to seeing it after five years.
I got that release for 3ā¬ ;D. I was not overly impressed by movie when watched from gunslinger collection but I might give it another go soon.
Viewed again after a few years and like it a lot more now, its hard to even find any faults with it. I can imagine reading the script thinking it was unfilmableā¦ it would have been easy to just give him the women and make it a chase filmā¦ but they pulled it off so well with one great set piece after another and perfectly cast Tony Anthony.
Is the Cine Plus DVD just as good as the Koch release?
Identical. Just a re-release, like all Cine Plus discs
Thanks! Iām guessing itās the best quality version available, so Iāll get that one.
I really wanted the Cine Plus DVD but didnāt hurry up and buy it when it was still in print. If anyone wants to part with theirs, let me know!
Nice article in Rolling Stone magazine about the film
The article mentions that a blu-ray is forthcoming in two days? Didnāt know that and canāt find any info regarding it?
last time I asked them they said no bluray and it has since disappeared from their releases. I have emailed them again to re-confirm whatās going on there. if itās remastered, what would be stopping them from releasing a blurayā¦
Welp, here it is! Iām going to have to take a look at it soon, hopefully itās been worth the wait!

Did some updates to this page then

Would love to hear how the PQ stacks up against the Koch disc on this one? The Koch disc was pretty damn good so without this being a blu-ray I donāt know if it will look too much better.
Iām going to try and purchase a copy soon, when I get it Iāll try and put something up here. I really want to see what they did for the sound as it states it was in 5.1 surround. I highly doubt they did this but I think it would be cool if they fit the CD quality score in with the rest of the sfx and voice work. They did something similar with Cominā At Ya!
Iām back, thought Iād give my two cents on the new ABKCO release in an edit.
The restortaion by ABKCO is top notch here, the print is in stellar shape with very minimal flecks of dirt and has a sharp and bright image. No lines or other deformities are present. The sound is just as good, sounding very crisp and clear with minimal hiss. The music is also very sharp, highās and lowās are present and do not suffer any distortion, and are very clear among the rest of the audio. Clicks and popās are also non-existent. There is added ambient noises like wind and crickets, which is a nice touch and helps add some dimension to the audio.
Thanks for the feedback, sounds like a great release!
No problem! It really is a great release, I should have mentioned that I purchased an HD rental off of Itunes because I couldnāt wait for the DVD, Iām going to purchase the DVD this Christmas though. Hopefully the DVD quality is just as good.
