Mine arrived accompanied with the Amicus Box Set I purchased from them. Both in excellent condition.
Hope to do a double feature watching together with "Murder By Decree" (Jack vs Sherlock Holmes), [Anchor Bay dvd] which definitely needs a Blu release btw.

I watched both the Jack the Ripper film and the Amicus box set last weekend. While I enjoyed them, my only gripe was no restoration work has been done on any of them. Every scratch, warts and all is there to see. They are proper HD but it's like they must have paid a fortune in rights and had no money left to restore them. You know when you see those features on restoration before and after, well this is the before and we didn't get the afters. Maybe Arrow or MOC will take up the mantle and do a proper restoration.
