I’m going to have to temporarily abandon my mostly chronological posting order, because I’ve recently obtained a few items that If I’d had them previously, they’d have already gone up. Although, in all honesty, I don’t know where this would go. It’s a publicity still from AFD, in the fashion

Tiger Beat Vol. 17 No. 2, November 1980

The November Tiger Beat also came out before Times Square’s October release, judging by the full-page teaser ad that ran on page 29. In fact we can narrow down the date it came out to sometime between the releases of the first two singles from

The remaining 14 pages of the AFD Campaign Pressbook consist of the poster reconfigured to fit every imaginable size of newspaper movie advertisement. I’m not posting all of them (because webspace is neither infinite nor free), just enough to give you an idea. The back cover gives a contact at

“TIMES SQUARE. It’s a movie. It’s a musical. It’s a way of life.” The photos on Page 6 of the AFD Campaign Pressbook are a cropped version of TS-104-17A/7, and TS-28-28/7. There, now that’s out of the way… Pages 5 and 6 breathlessly present all sorts of fantastic ideas

“Newcomer Robin Johnson is a revelation as Nicky…” The Campaign Pressbook from Associated Film Distribution was a promotional tool for theater owners. The first part repeated almost verbatim the biographical articles from the Press Materials folder, but supplied them in a format with illustrations that could be sent directly

Robin Johnson’s Times Square Headshot, “TS-Spec.3”

This is one of my favorite pictures of Robin, appearing for the first time not in character. I agree with DefeatedandGifted that it wasn’t part of the US press kit, even though it’s designed identically and even came with a folded-over caption sheet, just like the the photos in

On the left is the same photo as this one, cropped differently and of course without the autograph. On the right is the photo that may be the one used the most to promote the film. We’ll have a better idea about that once I’m done with all this

Times Square Press Material folder (post 1 of 5)

Generally referred to as The Press Kit, this is the big-ass promotional package AFD released in North America. Since they didn’t have a table of contents, I can’t be sure what all was in it, not without examining all of them… which is impossible because I’m afraid most of them

Times Square Press Folder

At least that’s what it was called when I got it. It’s only a folder though in the sense that it’s folded, not that it contained something else like the press kits which have pockets to hold papers and photos. This is just a big piece of heavy glossy stock,
