actually that's the "director's cut" which was originally created for a test screening but never released commercially till the dvd. the euro cut was only a couple of minutes longer than the u.s. cut. prolly easy to get the director's & euro cut mixed up though, since they both use the jerry goldsmith score (while the u.s. cut is the only one with tangerine dream).

anchor bay has a very respectable history of restoring & releasing lots of obscure old movies, with great transfer quality (relatively, for such aging films) and bonus features. it's just that a company can't stay afloat on werner herzog & alec guinness box-sets, no matter how good the movies are. those evil dead discs are what's commonly referred to as a "cash cow" -- the evil dead profits pay for the cost of producing the other stuff.
