#1 RAREST BEATLES MOVIE POSTER!
Offered for sale here is simply the EARLIEST and RAREST original Beatles MOVIE POSTER advertising their very FIRST feature film "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT." The picture was originally released in July of 1964 in the UK. This poster predates that. It's an extremely rare ADVANCE RESERVED SEAT CONTEST POSTER issued by
UNITED ARTISTS
exclusively in the UK. It gets no rarer, more important and/or cooler than this!!
>>>>>"ORIGINAL" means printed back in 1964!<<<<<
A Hard Day's Night, the Beatles signature film, was a British production, and so finding rare British country of origin paper on the title has always been at the top of all the advanced Beatles and movie poster collecting aficionados want lists. I've been collecting the Beatles film posters for over forty years now, and I can say without qualification - this poster takes the prize for the most special! It documents and defines the start of "Mop Top" fascination and marks the beginning of the Beatles cinematic sensation. I love that this poster is a contest poster - the prize being the VERY FIRST TICKETS TO THE VERY FIRST PERFORMANCE. Well-done United Artists!
The studio sent this little gem to few lucky theaters, witnessed by the fact that almost NO other originals have ever surfaced on the collector's market. Needless to say, this poster got almost NO original 1964 distribution. It was only printed ONCE and never issued again. It measures 10x15 inches and was originally folded by the cinema it came from. It's been stored FLAT for many decades, and so the folds are not a big issue. Check out the DIRECT HIGH-RESOLUTION SCANS I've posted on eBay. They leave NOTHING to the imagination. I've personally decided to leave it in its original state. It has no touchup or restoration. Decades ago, brown non-damaging (
non
sticky adhesive) paper tape was put on the back to protect the card from be refolded. Again, I've decided to leave it as it is, despite the fact the tape can easily be removed. I suppose a conservator could flatten it even better by putting it in a press, but I like it as is. The new owner can make that decision for himself or herself. The poster is printed on thick stock, similar to a window card. This was probably designed to be a window card, or a display for the theater lobby. Nevertheless, it's one rockin piece from the height of the rock and roll craze refueled by The Beatles breakout in 1964!
This is definitely an item for the the most advanced Beatles collector!
Buying this rare Beatles Poster is ECONOMY PROOF!
Why waste your money in the stock market? It can crash regardless of any decision you make and can even crash regardless of any decision made by the company related to the stock - Leaving you with a near worthless piece of paper that won't inspire anyone! With the purchase of an historic document such as this original Beatles poster, it doesn't matter what happens to the economy, you'll still have the poster, which can be displayed and enjoyed. The magnificence of art and historic documents have an inherent value that relates to civilization and society. Unless civilization itself crashes then this piece will hold its value, and, if civilization itself crashes - Who'll care about money? This poster is definitely
ECONOMY PROOF!
