I don't think there's a thread about this yet, but Distribpix has licensed all four of Radley Metzger's acclaimed XXX masterpieces and is going to be issuing them on DVD uncut, transferred from the original negatives in 2K, and loaded with amazing extras.
They're coming out in chronological order, so first will be THE PRIVATE AFTERNOONS OF PAMELA MANN (1974), then NAKED CAME THE STRANGER (1975), then THE OPENING OF MISTY BEETHOVEN (1975) and finally BARBARA BROADCAST (1977).
These releases will be completely uncut with ALL censored material (i.e. the garage scene in PAMELA, etc.) restored.
It looks like PAMELA will be arriving on DVD late this month. I don't have an exact date yet but I'll post it as soon as I have something concrete.
But just to give everyone a taste of what this first release will include, here's a look at the extras and features:
Uncut hardcore version of the feature film, mastered in 2K from the negative.
Never before seen softcore version also mastered in HD.
Audio commentary track with director Radley Metzger.
Original theatrical trailer.
Fully illustrated liner notes booklet.
New video interviews with stars Georgina Spelvin and Eric Edwards.
The locations of Pamela Mann, then and now.
Never before seen outtakes and an entire deleted scene that never even made it to the theatrical release.
Metzger's Manhattan: A look at how Metzger used the city in his film (full of rare behind the scenes footage and outtakes).
Music subtitle track: An optional subtitle track which explains Metzger's use of library tracks and gives background on the composers used in the film.
An optional English subtitle track.

Excellent! I eagerly await the Pamela Mann dvd -- one of my all time favourites. Glad to know VXP are continuing the line and putting in all this hard work (yourself included). Kudos.

My heart is set on the release of an uncut Barbara Broadcast just for the CJ Laing/Wade Nichols (R.I.P.) scene alone and of the hottest ever in Adult Film Industry.It's golden shower scene at that.

Great news! How does NAKED CAME THE STRANGER measure up? I've seen the other three and would love to see them again in restored editions.

PRIVATE AFTERNOONS and THE OPENING are the ones I'm really looking forward to, although as mcewan says the CJ Laing/Wade scene alone in BARBARA BROADCAST makes that one worth purchasing as well. NAKED CAME THE STRANGER is one I've never seen either.

NAKED is my favorite of the four, even more so than MISTY. But I know I'm in the minority there.

Uncut it will be! And even more exciting, Distribpix has recovered elements for at least two alternate cuts of the film, which promise to include a bunch of footage not present in the original theatrical release.

^John that's excellent news and that would easily make Barbara Broadcast an All Time Top 10 Favorite X-Rated Film of mine.

Jesus H. Christ!
I've caved many a times to double dip on mainstream DVD releases, but now I have to start double dipping on adult releases as well?
It's refreshing to learn these films are being released uncut since VCA self censored themselves more than a decade ago for good reasons. What has changed in the political or sexual climate since then to go ahead unflinching with the release of these uncut films? Have sites like kink.com and pissinginaction.com become everyday wanking material that we no longer fear potential obscentity prosecutions against these crusaders of the lost porn?

Russ Hampshire went on a censoring spree after he was convicted of obscenity on some gay movie in the mid/late 80s. It was mostly Russ' paranoia but a bit of it was justified thanks to the nonsensical Messe Commission.
VCA no longer has any rights to any of the Henry Paris films.

I read somewhere were certain scenes was edited out of Naked came the stranger.That's why I hadn't ran out and got a copy.By the way that's the first adult film I saw and just fell in love with Mary Stuart

True. NAKED was cut by around 11 min!
I'm currently working on the restoration of that film. It will be 100% uncut when it comes out.

Diabolik is announcing that this is going to be in stock later this week so apparently it is shipping to stores now.

The Metzger/Paris films are being released in chronological order. Currently, NAKED CAME THE STRANGER is in the works. Then THE OPENING OF MISTY BEETHOVEN and finally BARBARA BROADCAST.
Trust me, they'll be worth the wait.
Here are some reviews of PAMELA:

My copy is in the mail, I'm looking forward to seeing this in the great quality of the screens. Can't wait for THE OPENING OF MISTY BEETHOVEN to be released.

Afternoons of Pamela Mann was one of the first XXX flicks I saw on the big screen. I thought I had died and gone to porn heaven. I dreamt about this movie for years. Can't wait to pick up the remake.

There is no remake. This is a restored DVD release.

I met with Distribpix a couple of weeks ago and secured the streaming of these remastered classics.
The color restoration is amazing.
They are putting a ton of love and hard work into them.

I just finished restoring NAKED CAME THE STRANGER. The extras are being put in place. So expect NAKED around the end of the year.
Here are some screens from the new NAKED transfer:

I have just started watching the restored Pamela Mann and it looks great. However, I am having one problem and wonder if others have also experienced this: I can't shut off the English subtitles. I have gone to the Setup menu several times and selected "None" but still get the subtitles. In fact, to check for the obvious goofup, I tried all three subtitle options of English, Music, and None. I get subtitles for both English and None (and the music commentary for that option).
Am I overlooking something obvious? Are others facing the same issue?

^ I didn't have that problem. And I don't have any suggestions, sorry. The fix is usually specific to each model of dvd player. At the risk of stating the obvious, have you googled "turn off subtitles" along with the model of dvd player? That tactic has pretty much solved every technical issue I ever had.

Ms GGG: you can find Not a Love Story at:
http://www.b-videos101.com/
Click on Catalog, then X-rated. I can't vouch for the quality, as some of his offerings are from fairly bad sources, but it at least would give you an idea what it contains. (By the way, this site was out of commission for quite a while, but does seem to be back in service now.)
Enjoyed your fine review. I too loved this restoration of a gerat movie.
