Altered Innocence has already released the 1980 French gay classic Equation to an Unknown on DVD and Blu-ray. I've created this general thread because they have started making announcements of more gay classics that they have coming on disc.

Altered Innocence themselves have announced an upcoming release of The Fred Halsted Collection.

They are having an upcoming showing of LA Plays Itself and Sextool.

[Tweet is no longer available]

In the Twitter comments, they were asked if there would be an upcoming disc release.

Since then, they have set up a teaser page for The Fred Halstead Collection listing LA Plays Itself, Sextool, and Sex Garage as being in the upcoming set.

Holy cow, can't imagine what it would be like to be able to see these on screen. Very excited about the Halsted set, we are really living in a second golden age to get these films restored on blu.

Ordered my copy of LA Plays Itself from the Vinegar Syndrome site.

P.S. In case my earlier post is confusing, this release of LA Plays Itself includes Sex Tool, which is not to be confused with the earlier Sex Garage! Hopefully if this does well we'll get a release of Sex Garage in the future.

Sex Tool looks amazing. Great commetary from the folks from the Ask Any Buddy podcast who are like the Rialto Report of gay porn.

A great piece on the Fred Halsted Collection has been posted, including an interview with Elizabeth Purchell (Special Features Producer of the release).

If you aren't aware, she has the Ask Any Buddy podcast, which I highly recommend that talks about classic gay cinema.

Yeah! Her Ask Any Buddy podcast rules! Highly recommend watching the Ask Any Buddy essay film she made if it ever hits VOD or disc.

I rented it back when it was available to rent for streaming through a festival about a year and a half ago.

I've missed my chance to see Ask Any Buddy but hopefully it becomes available soon.

I hope that the Halsted collection does well enough that we'll get more gay classics from VS and Altered Innocence.

Elizabeth Purchell has a print of the gay Exorcist film Sex Demon which sounds amazing. A release of a decent or restored print of Roger Earl's Born to Raise Hell, among many other classics would be a dream too. As far as I know none of the 70s Jaquar features havehad legit releases either.

Ask Any Buddy the movie is really fun to watch. She did a masterful job editing all the clips together. I was working on a review when my old computer died and I lost everything on it (I found out the backup system failed about 3/4 of a year prior and never notified me). I never did rewrite it.

They have another Arthur Bressan Jr two-fer coming out later this month with Juice and Daddy Dearest on Blu-ray (and DVD if anyone prefers those).
