Has anyone seen any of the recent feature releases from Alpha Blue Archives. I'd fallen behind, mostly due to crappy masters and just picked up Librianna: Bitch of the Black Sea. It appears to have been mastered off of a film print and is in really good shape. Is this a needle in a haystack or have they put out more recently that are in good shape. Both Saturday Night Special and Pleasure Island were obviously mastered off of video tape and are the standard ABA quality.

A few of their recent releases have been reviewed on AV maniacs and it appears that yes, this is a needle in a haystack.
Although a number of their other releases came from prints originally, they are using the same low quality s-video masters they used on their VHS releases.

That's too bad, I was hoping they might have decided to actually start using film masters.

Jacy Catlin, who does their menu design and box art, told me that they sell a lot of their prints so even movies they once had prints of they more often than not no longer have when they get around to releasing them on DVD.

I suspect their major customer base are collectors. Lets face it, their average title isn't going to appeal to the standard fan of adult films. Hell, I think the reason I enjoy so many is my love for bad films. Rarely do I find one actually erotic. Since this is the case they really should have held onto their master films or be attempting to buy new ones. If they don't mend their ways I see After Hours Cinema severely cutting into their business. Especially since they have been releasing some of the same titles mastered from film.

Is there a good place to purchase ABA DVDs? The prices on their website are way too high.

I've picked up several used off Adult DVD Marketplace at $10.00 a pop which I find far more fairly priced. Adult DVD Empire gets them after a long period for $17.00, which is better but not great. They are very far behind from when they first get released though and don't carry any of the box sets last I checked.

There's a guy on ebay who sells them for $7.99. I bought one from him and the shipping was fast.

Great! The adult section of Ebay is set up like Fort Knox but I'll try it.

Fort Knox and thensome...
Access Not Allowed
eBay has made a policy decision not to allow access to the Mature Audiences category outside the US. This restriction applies to browsing, bidding and selling.
This decision has been taken due to laws that restrict the sale of pornography over the Internet. Often, these laws are more restrictive than those in the US and vary substantially from country to country, while often being unclear. To avoid potential legal exposure for our members and out of respect for laws regulating such material, we have implemented this policy.
We do know that in some countries access to at least some material of this nature may be lawful, however eBay is unable to block access to the Mature Audiences category on a country by country basis. Therefore, to avoid legal exposure for our members and out of respect for laws regulating such material, we have implemented this policy.
In the event that the laws in this area become more clear and as we become better able to handle such materials on a country by country basis, eBay may ease this restriction.
