Mick Rock
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmailOn June 1, 2016, Mick Rock did a signing for the “unlimited” edition of his book, The Rise of David Bowie, at Taschen in New York City, and I went. Of course I got an autographed book, but I also took the opportunity to ask him about the photos of Robin I’ve been theorizing he…

Times Square UK Lobby Cards, 1st Set (post 4 of 4)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail The final cards from the first set of UK lobby cards. These are the last of the items I have that were released contemporaneously with Times Square’s original release, so I’m going to take a bit of a break after this before continuing with the rest of Robin’s brief acting career. It seems right…

Times Square UK Lobby Cards, 1st Set (post 3 of 4)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Cards 9 through 12 from what I believe to be the first of two sets of Times Square lobby cards distributed in the UK in late 1980 or early 1981: David Pearl watching his daughter practice dance moves at the strip club was reproduced on the first Yugoslavian lobby card poster. …

Times Square UK Lobby Cards, 1st Set (post 2 of 4)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Cards 5 through 8 from what I believe to be the first of two sets of Times Square lobby cards distributed in the UK in late 1980 or early 1981: Nicky joining in as Pammy dances and Roberto (Miguel Pinero) looks on bemusedly, was in the other set of UK lobby cards, on…

Times Square UK Lobby Cards, 1st Set (post 1 of 4)
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail I first encountered lobby cards from this series several years ago in the collection of DefeatedandGifted, and I assumed they were Australian, partly because that’s where she was, and because they used the American form of the logo which was used on the Australian movie poster while listing EMI as the distributor. The movie…

Tajms Skver – lobby card poster 3 of 3, Yugoslavia, 1981
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail The last of the Yugoslavian lobby card posters features four images we’ve seen before: Johnny at the mic, Roberto watching Nicky watching Pammy dance, Pammy watching Nicky sing, and Aggie Doone’s debut, which hasn’t appeared on this site, but if you follow the links you’ve seen it at Karen Dean’s (DefeatedandGifted’s) page. …

Tajms Skver – lobby card poster 2 of 3, Yugoslavia, 1981
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Another four “lobby cards”, printed together on one poster, having been cut together and reprinted from an earlier series of lobby cards that I didn’t have when I found these. Unlike the first one, I think we’ve seen all these images previously, but, I’ll have more to say about them later.…

Tajms Skver – lobby card poster 1 of 3, Yugoslavia, 1981
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail I originally thought that these were uncut sheets of lobby cards intended to be separated into individual items, but after digitally doing exactly that I’ve come to the conclusion that, no, they were intended to be displayed just as they are. First, there’s not enough interior border area to cut them apart evenly, unless…

Tajms Skver – lobby poster, Yugoslavia, 1981
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail 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 than a standard one-sheet,…

Times Square German press photos, 1982
FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditPinterestGoogleEmail Schröder-Filmverleih, Times Square’s German distributor, put out a handful of black-and-white press photos to promote the movie along with the poster and lobby card set. They aren’t printed all that well, appearing to be copies of copies, which is a shame because most of them are images that never appeared anywhere else. The…
