I assume the Dolby Digital 2.0 mono track is "English", and no other dub tracks available?

Cheers James. Well done on finding specs for the other two DVDs (for the US, I should have said All Day distributed by Image). The All Day transfer is also included in the Edgar G. Ulmer: Archive box set (ASIN B0000639GB). Here are two short but informative reviews of both US releases:
- https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-revi ... 5M19A77FSX
- https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-revi ... A2MTW941BH

Bach are one of France's biggest bootleg labels; I have lots of proof if you want it. While Strange Illusion is PD as far as I can tell, most of the other films in Bach's unauthorised Ulmer box set are copyrighted.

Thank you. It's also in Mill Creek's Dark Crimes box set, which I have. All my Mill Creek sets are in the same place, so I'll dig it and White Zombie out together!
