The Blues Brothers, the classic 1980 John Landis Chicago Illinois blues and rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) crime action comedy musical ("They'll never get caught. They're on a mission from God."; "The show that really hits the road."; "The most devastating team since nitro and glycerine."; "Written by Dan Aykroyd and John Landis") starring John Belushi (in the title role as Jake Blues), Dan Aykroyd (in the title role as Elwood Blues), James Brown (singer), Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Carrie Fisher, Aretha Franklin, Henry Gibson, The Blues Brothers Band (Steve Cropper, Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Murphy 'Murph' Dunne, Willie 'Too Big' Hall, Tom 'Bones' Malone, Lou 'Blue Lou' Marini, Matt 'Guitar' Murphy, Alan 'Mr. Fabulous' Rubin), John Candy, Kathleen Freeman, Frank Oz, Twiggy, Charles Napier, Paul Reubens (as a waiter), John Lee Hooker, and Steven Spielberg (as a clerk). Note that a big part of the appeal of this movie was the cameo appearances by many of the greatest blues legends of all time, and the soundtrack included not only classics performed by Belushi and Aykroyd, but also original classics from the performers themselves!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds. It had creases, scuffs, and some tiny bits of surface paper loss along parts of most folds. It had a partial second vertical fold 1/2" to the right of the vertical fold between the middle and bottom crossfolds. It appears there was a snipe glued over the title area at one time. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
