Home video news:
September kicked off the Dollars Trilogy restoration release in France, brought a DEFA western box to the UK and returned the Road to Alamo to BluRay in Germany. Altogether not too bad a month.
October continues the Dollars trilogy in France, which will also get an HD release of Yankee before Germany does in November. Alex Cox’ new western arrives in the US, the rest are mostly re-issues, but a particular surprise is the Czech western Lemonade Joe arriving in the US (albeit for rights issues with an English dub), talking about rarities!
November is shaping up to be a wild month, stay tuned! Check the calendar regularly, we often update it several times a day! We suggest bookmarking it.

JPC and FNAC
We have expanded FNAC (France) links in the SWDb and we joined the JPC (Germany, ships internationally) partner program. Please use our links for shopping (even if you end up buying something else). This adds to our links for Amazon USA, Canada, Australia, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands and Sweden, as well as DeepDiscount and MoviesUnlimited links that we have. Many may be broken or out of date, please report those instances. Using these links supports the SWDb, thank you!
Obituaries
Our head of obits, the spaghettiologist @Tom_B had to update the boot hill cemetery with an unfortunate 7 new obituaries over the course of the last four weeks, including the legendary Richard Harrison. Rest in peace!

Reviews:
Please contact us if you want your reviews published. We are especially looking for reviews of movies that have no, or very few, reviews in the SWDb. We publish them in all languages, and you don’t need to be a professional writer!

Burgos locations and local politics
If you’ve been following various Facebook channels, including ours, you may have read that there was an effort to have the Sad Hill Cemetery designated a cultural landmark in front of a local or regional political board (the effort failed). For outsiders it may sometimes be tricky to understand the various stakeholders in the Burgos region of Spain where it is located, and the various entities and persons involved. In this case this has prompted the established cultural association, the Asociacion Cultural Sad Hill, to issue a statement, which you can read in Spanish or with the help of machine translation. The blog Spanish Western also has an explainer article about the competing entities that is worth reading.
