(TARZANA, CA) -- Returning to shelves after a leave of absence, the Kirdy Stevens Signature Series edition of Standard Digital's adult classic Taboo - ranked in the top 25 of AVN's 101 Greatest Adult Tapes of All Time -features more than just a name change.
<p>
The most obvious addition to the first volume of Taboo, directed by AVN and X-Rated Critics Organization Hall of Famer Kirdy Stevens and starring Kay Parker and Mike Granger, is its brushed metallic slipcover featuring the title's distinctive logo with softcore stills from the film. The plastic DVD case features hardcore stills, the first time they've been used on packaging, Steve Stevens, president of Standard Digital and son of Kirdy Stevens, said.
<p>
The disc features a newly remastered version of the film that is the best representation of sight and sound of the title since its theatrical release in 1980, Stevens added. The stills included in the gallery have not been seen since the film's initial release, and other extras include a commentary track by Kirdy Stevens and Helene Terrie, Taboo's screenwriter and producer, as well as a separate track and an interview featuring Parker.

"Standard Digital will release a new volume of Taboo, given the same remastered treatment, every other week until we ship Taboo 6 through our exclusive distributor, Addictive Entertainment," Steve Stevens said. "The films are true classics of adult's Golden Age, and they'll finally be seen and heard in the manner in which they were intended."
<p>
Stevens added Standard Digital will rerelease Daisy Chain and the Animal in Me following Taboo 6.

Distributor response to Taboo's return is nothing short of amazing, Jon Islas, general manager of Addictive Entertainment, said.

"Taboo's always been a phenomenal seller, but our customers are going nuts over the new version," Islas said. "They can't get enough of Taboo, and we're giving them the best edition of the movie that's ever been available."
