Yes, there already is a cassette copy of the soundtrack represented here, but it’s the Canadian edition. Somehow I’ve managed to neglect to upload any of the other cassettes I’ve glommed onto, so here is a first step to rectifying that. I also don’t know why it was that the
As best as I can tell, Tele Pop cards were a single series of pop culture trading cards featuring stars of movies, television and music, issued in Spain by Ediciones Este in 1980. I don’t know in what sort of package the cards were sold individually, but I’m pretty
I was hoping to be able to say, “And here’s one of the last post’s ad artworks in action,” but this newspaper ad from a Bucks County, PA newspaper doesn’t use any of the pieces from the two ad sheets. It uses a variation of the ad at the bottom
Here are two 11″ x 17″ sheets of readymade art to be inserted into your newspaper ad with the name of your theater and the showtimes alongside or below, These are essentially the same as the ad negatives and pages 7 through 20 of the AFD Campaign Pressbook, except

Did you know that before Times Square opened on October 17, 1980, before its big premiere on October 14, there were multiple sneak previews on October 3? Neither did I, until this turned up. I wonder if the film the preview audiences saw was
