^^ Mitään ei kannata enään tilata ennakkoon. Ei ainakaan määrätyiltä julkaisijoilta rapakon takaa, mitkä eivät lähetä korjaus levyjä muualle. Laadunvalvonta on nykyään aivan perseestä alusta loppuun. Miksi ei voida lähettää muutamia kymmeniä levyjä ennakkoon joillekin asian osaaville? He huomaisivat virheet ja homma olisi ok. Ilmeisesti on niin helvetin kiire painattaa levyt Meksikossa, että kukaan ei ehdi korjata tilannetta. Henry juttu ehkä eri juttu levyjen tekemesin suhteen? Death Wish II Vinegard Syndromelta on loistava, kuten heidän lähestulkoon kaikki muutkin ja jos vaihto ruljanssiin pitää lähteä, he hoitavat sen LOISTAVASTi.
Foorumilla(kin) saman asian puolesta rummuttaneena en väitä vastaan, mitä ennakkotilauksiin tulee. Viimeiset viisi vuotta olleet laadunvalvonnallisesti yhtä perkeleen myötähäpeäryöppyä liian monen julkaisijan kohdalla. Henkilökohtaisesti olen saavuttanut harrastuksessa myös sen lakipisteen, jonka jälkeen yhteenkään vaihtolevyohjelmaan ei enää ole tarvinnut osallistua, eikä sitä myöden myöskään aivojansa pehmentää. Yhtä sontaa kaikki tyynni. Toinen vastaava haista vittu vasten formaattia tukevia on kaikki saaaatanan "eksklusiivisesti vain meidän kaupasta, vain rajoitetusti" -rahastukset, joista loppuunmyynnin jälkiliukkailla onkin sitten turha enää edes uneksia, minkäänlaisesta järkihinnoittelusta puhumattakaan. Viimeisimpänä yksittäisesimerkkinä vaikkapa Arrow Videon kolmen levyn "video nasty edition" genre-elokuvaklassikosta Don't Go in the House, josta referoimiseen on turha tuhlata tämän enempää. Näitähän piisaa...

Vuotaneissa kuvissa Arrow Videon vielä virallista julkistusta vailla olevia elokuvia, joista siis luvassa ainakin seuraavat:
Nevör höörd-shitiksi taitaa jäädäkin, kun Arrow ei meinaa selvitä IOSS-byrokratiasta. Meikäläinen ei todellakaan ostele leffoja "tutustumismielessä", jos ensin pitää räpeltää Suomen tullin kanssa ja sitten päälle vielä ruinailla maksuja takaisin kauppiaalta. Rajansa kaikella.
Giallo-boksikin sisältää jopa uusia nimikkeitä eikä tavanomaisia uudelleenpaketointeja. Voi jopa heikkona hetkenä eksyä ostoskoriin, mikäli tarpeeksi väsyneenä koneen äärelle sattuu.

Esim. Saksalainen julkaisu tuosta tuli jo vuosi sitten. Jännä, miten eri aikoihin julkaisut tulevat ulos eri maissa. Olisiko sitten kyse esim. siitä, että yhdellä markkina-alueella testataan kansitaiteen myyvyyttä? Saksalaisessa julkaisussa on aika Bond-mainen kansitaide, kun taas tähän UK-julkaisuun on tulossa scifimäisempi kansitaide... Suomalainen julkaisu olisi kiva, onhan tämä leffa kuvattukin Helsingissä, mutta lienee toivoton haave. UK-julkaisu tullee jossain vaiheessa hommattua...
