SONIDO – la revista musical, No. 56, June 1981

12 July, 2018 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

The June 1981 issue of the Mexican pop music magazine Sonido contained on pages 38 and 39 an article credited to “Vicco,” but which seems to be exactly the same kind of AFD/RSO-written publicity published in English in similar magazines a year before. The article calls

Film Review Vol. 31 No. 2, February 1981

30 June, 2018 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

Times Square probably hadn’t had its January 15th opening yet when the February issue of Film Review came out. Unlike the article in the previous month’s issue, this isn’t a review at all, but a promotional summary of the film, with the exception of the backhanded compliment that most of

Record World, Vol. 37 No. 1729, September 13, 1980

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

Dolly No. 128, June 1981

15 January, 2018 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

“I love to sing but whether people like to hear me, is another matter.” Times Square was a distant memory in the US in June 1981, when Dolly No. 128 came out in Australia. Alison Gardner’s interview with Robin covers little new ground, repeating Robin’s discovery on

The Australian Women’s Weekly, Vol. 48 No. 45, April 15, 1981

The April 15, 1981 Australian Women’s Weekly featured Larry Hagman on the cover, a pin-up poster of Adam and the Ants on the inside back cover, and an interview with Robin on page 119. The interview goes over much the same ground as most of the previous interviews she

photoplay, Vol. 32 No. 4, April 1981

2 December, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

The Paul Wilson Column (“The man you want to read every month…”) in the April 1981 photoplay contained a brief bit of publicity that was typical of the coverage Robin and Times Square was getting by now in Great Britain (where the movie had long since closed) and Australia:

Joepie, No. 365, March 15, 1981

5 September, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

“Geef mij maar New Wave.” I don’t know when Times Square opened in Belgium and the Netherlands, but the weekly entertainment magazine Joepie (which Google wants to translate for me as “Yay,” but I think is more properly “Whoopie!”), devoted two pages in its March 15, 1981 issue to an

Films Illustrated Vol. 10 No. 114, March 1981

25 August, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

In the February 1981 Films Illustrated, David Quinlan took a paragraph to give Times Square a three-star review, saying essentially that it’s a decent popcorn movie in spite of its many flaws. In this next issue, Douglas Slater takes three full pages to give Times Square one of its best

Time Out No. 567, February 25, 1981

“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

Movie 81 No. 2, February 1981

1 July, 2017 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

“There’s a hot new talent, Robin Johnson in Robert Stigwood’s Times Square…” Times Square was still in theaters in London when the February Movie 81 came out in Australia and editor John Fraser made the above announcement. The two-page spread later in the issue is comprised of “An
