If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only previously auctioned one example of this quad for the London release of this movie (see below) in all our years of auctioning! This movie was submitted to the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) in February 1975, and it was not even allowed to be released with an X rating! The distributor made very slight cuts and resubmitted it and it was again rejected for wide release, but the Greater London Council allowed for it to be shown in London only, and British quads were made that had "X (LONDON)" under the title. A few local areas defied the ban on the movie and British quads were made that had "X (LOCAL)" under the title. VERY FEW OF EITHER TYPE OF QUAD HAVE SURVIVED! The quad offered here is the one for the London release, and, as noted above, we have only auctioned it once before, and we have only auctioned two examples of the quad for the local release!
