Robin and Trini “Bandphotos”, UK 1981
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailMore recently-turned-up Times Square publicity from England. Exactly how these fit in with the rest of it, I’m not sure. I’m guessing they were relatively early UK publicity, since the photos still have the American numbers on them. Perhaps before their own publicity machine got going, EMI contracted with Alan Band to send out photos…

15 or 16 UK Promo Photos
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailAs promised, here are all I have so far from the series of 8×10 black and white publicity stills from the UK, whose only true common denominator is that they have a small one- or two-digit number on a tiny inset square as part of the print. The typical still from the US has a…

Record World, Vol. 37 No. 1729, September 13, 1980
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Most of the “new” items that turn up now are variations of things we’ve already seen. This Times Square soundtrack ad is identical to the ones shown here, but unlike those two it’s still attached to the magazine it was published in. It’s page 126,…

Times Square Program Book, Japan, June 1981, pages 20-24 (post 4 of 5)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail“Let’s get together at … Hippy Power” (?) Here at the end of the Japanese program book, we get the movie’s credits, an ad for the soundtrack album, and… the Times Square Top Ten? I can only imagine what’s being said, in relation to the film, about Make-Up, Music, Fashion, Life Style,…

Times Square Program Book, Japan, June 1981, pages 14-19 (post 3 of 5)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailAs before, I have no clue as to the text, but the image on page 14 of the Japanese souvenir program for Times Square is another frame from the movie. The photo of Pammy and Nicky on page 15 is the promotional shot which was used for the cover of the Italian “Help Me!” single,…

Times Square Program Book, Japan, June 1981, pages 8-11 (post 2 of 5)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailHere are the next four pages from the Japanese souvenir program for Time Square. These pages apparently have everything you need to know about the producer, director, and stars. Again, if anyone wants to contribute a translation, or donate to a fund for hiring a professional translator, you will have my thanks and the thanks…

Times Square Program Book, Japan, June 1981 (post 1 of 5)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail This was almost certainly aimed at theatergoers and not the press, but I can’t be 100% certain, since as I’ve noted before, Google Translate makes a total hash of Japanese, and I don’t have the funds to have it professionally translated. (If anyone wants to help on that score, by donating some dough or…

Times Square promotional flyer, Japan, 1981
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail The front side of this approximately 7.5 by 10.5 inch sheet reproduces the Japanese movie poster, the only difference being the absence of the credit for EMI at the lower right. The back is breathlessly loaded with more information about the film, the girls, and the soundtrack than you’d think could possibly…

“… a culture of ‘Rag-Dolls’…” 1981 Press Kit, Denmark
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailThis was sold to me as a Press Kit, but it looks to me more like the AFD Campaign Pressbook in intent, as it has a list of available promotional materials on the back. Theater owners might have a use for that, the press wouldn’t. The Danish publicity for Times Square surprisingly abandoned the Cummins…

Time Out No. 567, February 25, 1981
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail “Of course Robert [Stigwood] wants to make money. Money is the bottom line. But I don’t think he is using me for that prime reason … I hope not, God.” Robin made the cover of London’s Time Out, sort of, to illustrate their cover story, an in-depth analysis of the exploitation of young…
