I've acquired a few of these recently and it's good to see that DCR were releasing colour titles in the era of low fade polyester. Considering the wide range of BTF titles they offered, sometimes fairly soon after the films were made, I'd imagine that they must have had an arrangement with BTF that gave them 8mm rights to release the films, and maybe they were able to use BTF's 16mm masters. Is anyone in a postion to confirm whether this is the case?
