It seems March update quietly added Gone to Earth to the list of upcoming titles. Does it mean that eventual The Wild Heart release will include both versions?
Looks like Kill Baby Kill! was removed from June lineup. I hope it's to add more extras (like Erika Blanc interview) and doesn't repeat the fate of Dark Sky Films DVD release...
It's time to once again take your front-row seats to the best variety show of the Jazz Age, as the vaunted and venerable Vitaphone presents a third collection of vintage Vaudeville and more sound shorts! Stars and almost-stars of song, stage and screen, from the East Coast to the West Coast can...
1) You should never pay $29.99 plus tax for their releases as they are often up to 50% off on many sites, including Amazon.

I can only confirm 2 of being PRESSED on the first pressing. After the first pressing, they will probably release it on DVD-R. Here is the list of all sets -
Believe It or Not: The Complete Vitaphone Shorts Collection (1930-1932)
Bobby Jones: The Complete Warner Bros. Shorts Collection...
Here is an idea for a Fox Film Noir that never was released even though Eddie Muller recorded a commentary for it - The Brasher Doubloon. It was eventually dumped on MOD disc, but a special edition in HD with that commentary would be nice...
MGM didn't want to license Pink Panther cartoons to Kino - they are either releasing it themselves or licensed to someone else. I think Mr Lime already answered about it in the past.
