Strangely they released "King Kong" which must have been a pirate version as Mountain had the legitimate rights and were selling it at the same time.
Don't know of any other sound features but they issued many silent features i.e
Gold Rush, Intolerance, Battleship Potemkin, Metropolis,Variety,The General,College, many others similar.
I have also seen silent reels from Modern Times so they may have issued this in sound also.

I have a few "Collectors Club" feature releases in my collection. I have the aforementioned "White Zombie" as well as "The Most Dangerous Game", "Dark Eyes of London" and a lovely British comedy film with Alec Guinness called "The Card". They also did "The Vampire Bat" which I used to have but replaced with a 16mm print when I found one. The quality of their prints was generally very good. For a very short time in the very early 1980's they had a retail shop in Kilburn High Road in north west London called "Collectors Films". They were very nice people to deal with.

Hold on to your WHITE ZOMBIE copy. It is the best and the most complete version on 8 mm. It was sold in 8 200 ft reels, each complete,from beginning to end leader.Most of their other sound features were abridged. Despite being a cheapscate operation,their prints are surprisingly good,especially the talkies. The silent features ,sometimes less so but definitively better than Niles'.The cartoons,sound and silent are very good and rare.Mostly silent Felixes and sound Van Beurens and early Terrytoons. The comedies were mostly Blackhawk dupes but, very good for what they were.
