Powell Released HANDS OF THE RIPPER,A NIGHT TO REMEMBER,BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB,SANDS OF (YOU know the one),both in magnitic and optical soundtracks.Sorry John,that's all i can think off;the top of my head.Andy. P.S.Better still have a word with Mike,he has most of the movie maker mags at his finger tips.

Although not officially Iver releases, I did hear rumours of a couple of so-called video nasties being relased, shall I say, under the counter, these were "I Spit on your Grave" & "Driller Killer", I wonder how many prints were done, I have seen a print of "Driller Killer" once at a show, but I've never come accross the other, although I was reliably informed there were prints struck!

Mark,
It was rumoured to be IFS themselves, but of course these kind of releases are hard to advertise, how I know about it a friend of mine showed me a pamphlet that was included in an Iver film he had just bought direct from them in the late 70's, but apart from one sighting, I've never seen anymore of them, amazing really, perhaps when Iver's fortunes were nose diving they did things like this to bring some quick cash in, I don't think it worked though, do you!
