Blue Underground is a very nice label ( http://www.blue-underground.com ) releasing many cult and exploitation films. About 2 years ago they released a great Spaghetti Western Box which is now out of print.
Of course this box is a must have and a true collectors item now! We should have more like these! Looks like Koch media is a very decent successor!!! Haven’t heard or seen any new stuff from Blue underground. Of course the label that is puting out stuff like Ben and Charlie is ver nice as well!!! Maybe some day we can have a Sartana box???
Unfortunately it seems SW is not quite a sellable genre in US, even now in DVD era. No wonder BU never touched SW again. Neither Anchor Bay. Hope Wild East will remain in the game.
Yeah, that’s very sad. BU and Anchor Bay releases were brilliant with lots of extras. I wonder if Anchor Bay will ever release Hellbenders which they announced to do.
It’s impossible to make good scans of the box, since it won’t fit my scanner…I guess you should use a picture from the internet and make do with that…sorry…
Just found the “Spaghetti Western Double Shot” on Amazon.com:
It appears to be the Blue Underground releases of Mannaja and Run Man Run bundled together at the great price of $17.96.
Anyone know anything about it? I was about to buy Mannaja alone for the same price, then I saw this, want to make sure it’s not inferior in some way to the single discs.
Thanks.
Yes I bought this one. You can’t do anything wrong. It’s just that it is the Image Ent. release, that means there are no booklets/liner notes with it. But the prize is awesome
Gotcha, thanks for the info.
Of course now I’ll have to decide if it’ll bug me knowing I may be missing a booklet and liner note or two!
Ahh, the pain of being a completist…
I am not sure if the booklets are even available anymore on ANY of the dvds that are available. Usually they tend to be OOP in later issues.
I only have a Run Man Run liner note, and none in th eothers
Sebastian, give me your e-mail address - I have the complete boxset and I can do the scanning for you. But since I also have other things to do, I hope you don’t mind waiting for a few days before I send it to you.
Sebastian: Could you mail me the scans of the booklets? It says on the Mannaja page that you have the booklet scanned. If you can, please send them all. I’m gonna buy all the dvds anyway.
yeah I’ve seen it, but i don’t think it’s something of a revolutionary thing somebody should take ALL the interviews and little featurettes/documentaries available and make the ULTIMATE spaghetti documentary (10 hours long or so)
