@Nathan raises some good points on the current popularity and general awareness of the film and score (Goblin are also out on tour in North America again), but I will go out on a limb here and claim that the artwork and package design on the Death Waltz edition is quite remarkable. I am a fan of Randy Ortiz (loved his Fulci comp artwork), and I feel he absolutely nailed this one. The gatefold art is just mesmerizing, and is probably some of the best art design I have seen on any DW or Mondo album. I know that is a bold claim, but I am not the only one saying this.
I also believe the heavy social media presence, Beyond Fest, MondoCon, and limited colored vinyl pressings have only added fuel to the fire. All that said, I actually expected the deluxe box set from AMS to sell out quickly rather than this DW pressing. Shows what I know...
ps - Special thank you to Little Walter for grabbing a copy of this for me.
