Anyone pick up the NoShame Italy 2 disc set?

To tie in with the recent release of that DVD I've just put an interview with the films star Beatrice Harnois on the main site...

I've been waiting to hear about it.  The hardcore version is on DVD in the US under the title FELICIA from Video-X-Pix whose releases aren't that high quality (then again most classic adult films on US DVD come from older video masters).  The English subbed version I have is from the French softcore version.

This was one of two films that Pecas did in both hard and soft versions.  The other is LUXURE which is actually quite effective in its soft version (Karine Gambier shows she can actually act in this film) which is available in its hard version on US DVD as SWEET TASTE OF HONEY and on a composite of the Spanish soft DVD and the English track from "Alfa Digital" who included the hard scenes as extras from a French language Dutch subtitled source.

I've got this and posted some screenshots over at DVD Maniacs.

Disk one contains the soft version with Italian, French and Spanish audio. The picture is pretty good - non-anamorphic widescreen but far superior to any other version I've seen.

Disk two is the hard version and is very poor shape. In fact, it's slightly worse than the Vido-X-Px edition (which is saying something). It has English and, I think, Italian audio.

Given the Spanish audio, I'm thinking they used the same master as the Spanish disc.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I'm curious: does anyone know how's the Spanish set (quality, cut/uncut)? I know it only has the softcore versions of the films that also had hardcore scenes filmed, but are they otherwise uncut?
My familiarity with director Max Pécas' work is mostly regarding his 80's comedies (which frankly didn't impress me at all), but since the Spanish box set has 7 films for a ridiculously low price I was thinking about picking it up. Is it worth it?

[ecc]

I couldn't tell you for certain.  I believe they are uncut as far as the softcore versions go (the hardcore footage is alternate, the softcore is not cut down from the harder versions).

Scren grabs from the NoShame 2 disc set - Softcore version at top, hardcore underneath...










As a bonus the 23 minute documentary is the old EUROTIKA! episode on Max Pecas, even has the ubiquitous Marc Morris thanked in the end credits

I wonder who has the rights to the Pecas films - I'd love to do them on UK DVD. I suspect it's his son who is now handling them?

The hardcore version on the NoShame disc is missing footage during the manage a trois at the end of the film. Anyone know if the American dvd is more complete?

Is it mentioned on the NoShame disc (the back cover?) or anywhere on the Spanish set or separate discs?
