:newspaper: NEW STUFF IN AND AROUND THE SWDB IN :spiral_calendar: JULY 2022:

:film_strip: New around the SWDb:
The summer weeks have been and continue to be a busy time around the SWDb. While I am working on somewhat of a major overhaul of the SWDb, many members of our community are keeping busy improving its information, adding pictures, missing titles and writing reviews. All the while, we’re scouting the web and contacting our informants to keep the internet’s most reliable spaghetti western home video release calendar up to date.

And as always: join the SWDb, help out, it will make it better :slight_smile:

:dvd: New and upcoming discs:

Highlights were a long overdue release of Tepepa in France and the second title in Koch Films’ new series. The rest are reprints.
And in August we can look forward to

These include a reprint of Get mean, a German release of Villa Rides and some more reprints in Japan and the Nordics.
