New Jean Rollin blu-Ray and CD Releases for 2019

2019 sees the arrival of two new Jean Rollin releases.  On February 19th Kino Lorber/Redemption continue their Jean Rollin series with a double feature of  DRACULA'S FIANCEE  and LOST IN NEW YORK.  This set features an audio commentary by Samm Deighan and is a particularity welcome addition to their previous blu-ray releases.  I'm especially excited for LOST IN NEW YORK, which is extraordinary.   More information on this release can be found here and Samm can be followed at Twitter.  Copies of the Rollin Book, LOST GIRLS, Samm edited for Spectacular Optical are still available here as well.  

Another Rollin related release arrives next month in the form of another limited edition soundtrack collection from The Omega Productions Recording Company.  This release features Philippe d'Aram's soundtracks to LA MORTE VIVANTE / LA FIANCÉE DE DRACULA in a limited run of just 500 copies.  More information can be read here.
