I have seen the first release English one-sheet (which itself is an extremely rare poster), but I have never seen this early re-issue poster before, nor have I ever seen it sold by anyone else. If anyone can find any reference to this poster having been sold anywhere, please e-mail us and we will post that information here. Condition: very good. The poster was folded twice horizontally and twice vertically, and there is a tiny tear at the bottom left crossfold with some creases and scuffs in that horizontal foldline. There are tiny creases and scuffs on the other folds and some minor creases around the edges of the poster. Other than the above, the poster is in excellent condition, and after a simple linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic, and there will be only a very slight amount of paint restoration anywhere on the poster!
