I was surprised to see it's listed as a Derann print as the total number of 400' releases that they reprinted from other distributors was not very high. However. I managed to locate their 1990 catalogue and sure enough it's there. I've since noticed that the seller is Paul Foster, so he would know, being a member of Derann's staff at the time!

I have this digest print from Derann. Print quality is very good, and no fade of course. I have re-recorded mine in stereo.

I doubt if anyone can offer a quick, easy answer to that! If you are referring specifically to Derann re-releases, it would make it more manageable to break it down in terms of films initially released by specific other distributors, and also define if digests would include releases of any length that's less than full length. Distributors I can think of include PM, Walton, Ken, Universal, Iver and Disney.

It looks to me like the original sleeve cover to the KEN release with the black border from the top just sliced off.

That's right - I don't think Derann would have sold reprints like that so I expect a former owner did the copy.

My Gigi digest print from Derann came in the generic white box, just a label with no box art.
