  SLADE in Flame

  £125.00

  “In the cut throat world of the music business you’re either a success or dead.”

  Dig out those flares (anything under 15″ are not acceptable) & platform shoes…Not just responsible for one of the greatest Christmas songs ever but in 1975 Glam Rock band Slade starred in their own imaginatively titled big screen movie…SLADE IN FLAME ! Described as ‘the Citizen Kane of British pop movies’ by critic Mark Kermode, Slade in Flame both confounded and delighted audiences when it was released in 1975, at the height of the legendary glam-rock band’s success, starring the band themselves, this was a music film like no other. Charting the rise and fall of a pop group at the end of the 1960s, this darkly cynical, warts-and-all portrait of a band in freefall amidst the music-industry suits who want a piece of the pie was not what anybody was expecting. And now for the 50th Anniversary, Slade in Flame has been newly remastered by the BFI from the best available 35mm materials and re-released for a very limited cinematic outing. This original 2025 UK quad film poster to accompany the release is presented in excellent original rolled (as issued) condition that displays beautifully; the black background enhances the image of the group, who appear (due to some clever lighting) translucent, giving an almost 3D effect. The extremely limited release means these posters are very scarce and represent a fantastic piece of highly collectable and desirable original movie and music memorabilia.

  Trivia: Noddy Holder‘s opinion of his band’s acting: “We got away with it!”

  Yellow Submarine

  £195.00

  “Nothing you can make that can’t be made No one you can save that can’t be saved Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time It’s easy All You Need is Love All You Need is Love All You Need is Love, love Love is all you need”

  A rare complete set of all eight (8) full colour lobby cards from the 1999 re-release of the Fab Four’s wacky, animated classic “Yellow Submarine”. The movie was digitally restored with the sound remixed and remastered and given a very limited cinema release in 1999. All of the lobby cards feature some incredible imagery from the movie, with great use of bold design and vibrant colours with the classic Heinz Edelmann image of the titular “Yellow Submarine” as border art. The movie’s style was was a totally new direction for the animation genre & perfectly fitted the mood of the psychedelic 1960’s and The Beatles’ songs it featured. All eight (8) lobby cards are presented in excellent original condition and represents a fantastic item of Beatles cinematic memorabilia; the only problem you will have is deciding which one to display.

  Trivia: The original British version was restored in 1998 for this remastered release in 1999. American audiences finally got to see five minutes of footage that had been cut from the original U.S. version, including the “Hey Bulldog” sequence.
