I’ve bought this twice both have been in clear cases. Like Sundance I bought my first copy way back in the day either directly from Wild East or from Xploited Cinema.

Thank you!
Hopefully just about to win the Robert Woods Wild East double bill dvd of the superb Black Jack and Belle Starr… For less than £5? From an ebay auction
This seems to be the easiest way to get their releases without paying crazy prices…

That exact release doesn’t seem to go for too crazy prices though. Plenty of affordable copies on ebay for direct purchase. You will probably have a harder time picking up something like “A Fistful of Trailers” that easy 
I have The Dirty Outlaws and Pistoleros for sale, both close to mint condition. Not cheap though! Would prefer to swap for other Wild East releases or IVL Shaw Brothers DVDS
In all honesty, I love “Wild East”, and have bought many of the most-beloved films in my DVD collection from them. However, whenever I e-mailed them with non-purchase queries about various movies, I never got a reply. Does anyone know why this is so? Also, I’ve always felt that if any company could provide restored director’s cuts–never seen in America–of “A Bullet For Sandoval” (1969), “My Name Is Nobody” (1974), and the brilliant non-spaghetti western “Fraulein Doktor” (1969), starring the wonderful Suzy Kendall, it would be Wild East, but they never did. Does anyone know if restored releases of these classic films are being planned by anyone?
Now that they’re gone, it’s a bit late to deliberate their customer services.
As for the other questions, what else would there be but speculation?

Given their great love of spaghetti westerns and other classic Euro–especially Italian–film genres, I thought they might be the ones to put out such copies of the aforementioned films, and was curious about their not having done so. Also, given that my fellow members–and you–are so knowledgeable about such matters, I thought I might obtain answers to all of my questions. Lastly, I merely skimmed over this thread this thread very hurriedly, and did not read of Wild East’s actual closing.
Hmm, the released versions of My Name Is Nobody do already feature the uncut version, but you seem to think different?
Yes, Stanton, I do. I’ve never seen any version of “My Name Is Nobody” (1974)–at least not one offered by any American company–that runs longer than 116 minutes–the longest length of any version of the film ever released in America. I know of no American company that has ever released the original Italian edition running 130 minutes on videocassette, DVD, or Blu-Ray, do you?
No, but I also never heard of an 130 min version. The usual 117 min version is supposed to be uncut.
There might be an Italian version with 118 min, but question is if it really contains any additional footage, in case it really does exist.
Can’t believe I missed all this because I hadn’t been here for a while but I’m definitely sorry to see Wild East go. I was hoping they’d eventually release some previously released titles but on Blu Ray like The Dirty Outlaws. Such a shame. If anyone from Wild East reads this though thanks for all the spaghetti releases of yours that I do have

According to noted film critic Danny Peary in his “Guide for the Film Fanatic”, there is indeed such a version, a claim corroborated by Sir Christopher Frayling–the world’s leading authority on both spaghetti westerns and the “auteur” most–and immortally–associated with this genre–or, rather more accurately, subgenre–Sergio Leone, in Volume 1, “Westerns” of the four-volume “The Film Encyclopedia”, for which Sir Christopher wrote all of the entries dealing with Italian Westerns, and in Sir Christopher’s own “Spaghetti Western”, the most thorough study of this type–or–again–rather more accurately, sub-type–of film, and “Something About Death”, the only complete biography of Signore Leone in existence at present, for which Sir Christopher was given access to all of filmmaker Leone’s personal papers and correspondence.
The saddest part is that we will probably never see the projects they had plans for. Like a 35mm English audio print of Sonora, or a 16mm English audio print of Dead Men Ride…

In “Something to Do with Death” he gives the Italian runtime with the usual 118 min. But feel free to check the books and point me to the pages where I can find such claims. I don’t remember such a length for MNIN, but maybe I read it once, and just forgot about it.
Maybe an unreleased version?
Totally. Dead Men Ride would have been awesome to see with the English dub.

I’m certain that I saw the running time as 130 minutes in “Something About Death”, and definitely know that I saw it in the other sources that I cite.
Well, I’m interested to know about it. If you find the sources one day, post it in the film’s thread.

Let’s look into some rare Wild East releases. Episode 1: THE TRAMPLERS. We found some used listings Amazon.de (https://amzn.to/3NLesYO or https://amzn.to/3wPip80 or https://amzn.to/38QSgOw), Amazon.com (https://amzn.to/3lV9Vax), Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3M02DNd) and Amazon.ca (https://amzn.to/3t6Dud7). The DVD also pops up on Ebay every now and then. Verdict: Still somewhat easy to obtain for collectors.

Up until three or four months ago, they still had it new as it was one of their “Amazon’s Choice” selections on the U.S. site.
