Cult Epics has been doing some noteworthy work this year with the back catalog of artsy erotica specialist Radley Metzger.

This set contains the theatrical-version blu-ray discs for Score, The Lickerish Quartet and Camille 2000. All three are identical in content to their stand-alone releases but this box adds a few new extras in the form of a full-color booklet with essays by Metzger and Mondo Digital scribe Nathaniel Thompson plus a CD featuring music from all three films. Read on for all the stylized-sexiness details…
