A standard one-sheet movie poster is 40 inches high by 27 inches wide. A “quad” poster, which I don’t think they make anymore, is 40 inches wide by 30 inches high. EMI took this extra space and zoomed in on the top two-thirds of the painting, cutting it off just above the artist’s signature.
Overall it’s a more pleasing layout, with the credits in the lower left corner over the wet street, and the two inset photos next to each other in the lower right. The photo of Tim Curry has been changed to TS-66-28/8 from the US press kit and AFD Campaign Pressbook, and the photo of Pammy and Nicky is TS-72-8A/14, also from the US press kit and the Campaign Pressbook. Neither of these photos were in the UK Press Kit (at least not in my copy). Perhaps this poster was put together first, and when the one-sheet was designed the American stills were replaced with British ones.
This was the layout used for the newspaper and magazine theater advertisements for the movie’s run.

“Damn Dog” 12-inch single
You too might have had perhaps Robin's only solo release, if you were a DJ... in 1981... in Belgium. The mind boggles at the series of meetings that must have occurred to result in the decision that this was a good idea. A 12-inch single of "Damn Dog"... but not…

This is the last of the... well, what should I call them? The objects that have no publication information printed on them, or aren't contained in some other package (although some of them turn up again later that way). Although... there's at least one more image that fits that definition…
Tajms Skver – lobby poster, Yugoslavia, 1981
The main Yugoslavian poster used the art from the U.K. poster which was used throughout Europe. But Zeta Film also produced at least four more promotional pieces, which I believe to have been made for display in theater lobbies, based on their size and artwork. This poster is smaller…
