“The radio station where Robert is a disc jockey was based on the United Biscuits Network, which broadcast to factories owned by United Biscuits.”
“Radio On” is one of the landmark English films of the past 45 years and considered to be a British classic. Christopher Petit, an English novelist and filmmaker wrote and directed the movie. The film is set in late 1970s Britain, in a post-punk era, and released in 1979. That was the time when Britain’s political and social state was about to change, as the Thatcher years were in their infancy. The story centres around a distant young DJ named Robert, played by David Beames, who is on a mission to find more information about his brother’s alleged suicide. His trip finds him travelling from London to Bristol, where en route, he meets a collection of unique individuals who join him on his pursuit for answers. Filmed in moody black and white that theme is continued with the film poster that was used to market the movie. Using a photograph from Sickert this original UK quad from first year of release in 1979 remastered re-release features eye-catching imagery. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays to excellent effect being totally original and unrestored and presented in a very high grade. Having a very limited standalone release (it was primarily screened as a double-bill with Luis Bunuel’s “L’Age D’Or”) these posters are particularly scarce and represents a hugely desirable item of music related cinematic memorabilia.
Trivia: The football results read out over the car radio are from Saturday 10th March 1979.

Silents Synced have stylishly and cleverly paired, a classic silent horror movie with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience with “Radiohead X Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror”. Directed and remixed by Josh Frank this reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums. An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Shreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws – perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned. This imaginative new take on an iconic horror classic is accompanied by an equally striking poster. Designed by EMEK it resembles a vintage black and white engraving with colour (it had to be RED) used sparingly for maximum effect. With a very limited release & showing in only a handful of independent art-house cinemas and drive-ins the advertising posters for the screenings are truly scarce. Originally rolled (as issued) this eye-catching example displays and presents to excellent effect and represents a fine piece of horror movie cinematic memorabilia with a slice of Radiohead thrown in for the music fan.

Based upon Rob Bottin’s iconic ‘robo’ suit design Mike Bryan produced the perfect poster to complement his graphics. A truly striking image for Paul Verhoeven’s ultra violent sci-fi masterpiece “Robocop” that is perfectly suited to the landscape format of the British quad and has been SIGNED BY SEVEN (7) OF THE CAST. From original year of release 1987 this originally folded (as issued) example presents and displays very well and has been signed by seven (7) of the cast with most adding their character name or a quote from the film; Peter Weller, ROBO 10/18/24 – Nancy Allen, Lewis, Murphy it’s you – Ronny Cox, Dick Jones, He’s my cyborg you idiot – Ray Wise, Leon, Don’t touch me man! – S.D. Nemeth – Mark Carlton, Miller – Sage Parker, Dr Tyler . This impressive film poster represents a fantastic piece of original collectable movie memorabilia from one of the defining movies of the 80’s complemented by the addition of so many autographs from the main cast . The ‘original’ & BEST, “Robocop” is fondly remembered and spawned a popular TV show, two sequels and was recently remade as a ‘big budget’ CGI sci-fi actioner…“I’d buy that for a dollar !”

Trivia: Realizing that the film was running behind schedule and over budget, director Paul Verhoeven and producer Jon Davison purposely did not film one crucial scene: Officer Murphy’s death. When production wrapped, they went back to Los Angeles and grimly informed the execs that Murphy’s death had not been filmed. After watching the footage they did film, the execs were so astonished by the aesthetics and performances they gave the filmmakers more money and they filmed the scene in a redecorated warehouse in Los Angeles.

“Three years before the United States declares war, The Rocketeer leads America’s first battle against the Nazis.”
This original 1991 British Quad film poster is a steam punk art-deco delight featuring the incredible artwork of John Mattos. Truly beautiful imagery that’s perfectly suited to the Republic Pulp Serial approach of Joe Johnston’s “Rocketeer”. Based upon Dave Stevens’ graphic comic novel the Walt Disney Studio produced an enjoyable stylised romp set in the early days of pulp comics and superheroes that quickly became a cult favourite. The Advance film poster offered here is by far the most sought after of paper produced for the Film as it’s all artwork with just the title. The landscape format perfectly suits John Mattos’ dynamic super hero artwork. This unrestored, original rolled (as issued) example displays to excellent effect. Genuinely scarce and highly desirable, not just to film buffs (the art-deco design appeals to number of collectors) this superb piece represents a fantastic piece of desirable film movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Artist and creator of the ‘Rocketeer’ Dave Stevens played the man in the test flight movie, who has the rocket pack strapped to his back (the test pilot).

“My revenge has spread over centuries and has just begun!”
The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1974) was the eighth Hammer film and the seventh and final one to feature Christopher Lee as Count Dracula and the last time Lee and Peter Cushing would star together. The British poster campaign was illustrated by Hammer’s regular artist Tom Chantrell. The green-wash background contrasts effectively with the red Day-Glo title of the film, with Lee’s Dracula the focus of attention against a London skyline featuring the familiar landmarks of Big Ben and the Post-Office Tower. Presented unrestored and in excellent original folded (as issued) condition, this originally belonged to the renowned horror historian and collector Forrest Ackerman and is accompanied by a certificate from his Estate. A personal favourite of mine and featured in Marcus Hearn’s excellent book “The Art of Hammer”. An excellent investment grade example of original rare Hammer Horror movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Count Dracula poses as a multi-millionaire who is never seen in public and never photographed. A 1970s audience would inevitably have been reminded of the eccentric and reclusive Howard Hughes.

Steven Shainberg’s multi award winning and controversial film “Secretary” certainly caused a few eyebrows to be raised when released in 2002 dealing with a master/slave relationship of an unlikely couple played by James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Both of the said stars feature prominently on the original UK quad film poster offered here. Presented in excellent rolled (as issued) condition it appears almost faultless and represents an investment grade example of a very rare, desirable and collectable film movie memorabilia for a much talked talked about film…“Assume the position”

“In a future where all flora are extinct on Earth, an astronaut is given orders to destroy the last of Earth’s plant samples, kept in a greenhouse aboard a spacecraft.”
A very COOL poster and a fantastic example of the supremely talented film poster artist George Akimoto – a master at illustrating anything aeronautical, especially space ships. And it’s the amazing painting of the space ship “Valley Forge” together with a wonderful image of Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) who is the space ranger who together with Huey (along with Dewey and Louie, one of the three scene stealing drones) lovingly cares for the last of Earth’s plant-life . This original “Silent Running” movie poster has it all; incredible graphics, great detail & amazing colours. It is very rare and one of the scarcest movie posters from the early 1970’s to find. The original UK quad movie poster offered here is from first year of release, 1972 and displays to excellent effect. Originally folded (as issued) it is presented in incredible unrestored condition (most likely unused) and is the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale. In true investment grade condition, this genuinely rare cult classic represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Several shots of the ‘Valley Forge’ and its sister ships were later re-used in the television series “Battlestar Galactica”, as agricultural ships in the refugee fleet.

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!”

“Beyond the darkness…beyond the human evolution…is Khan. A genetically superior tyrant. Exhiled to a barren planet; banished by a Starship Commander he is destined to destroy. Left for dead, Khan has survived”.
Original 1982 UK Quad movie poster for the best original series Star Trek movie ever “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”. Originally folded (as issued) this fantastic looking poster displays to very good effect with lovely deep, unfaded colours and fantastic photo-montage imagery featuring all the key cast members, Kirk, Spock and the crew of USS Enterprise never looked better. A fine piece of sci-fi movie memorabilia and one of the best looking and most collectable film posters for the much loved franchise.
Trivia: The famous “Space, the final frontier” monologue is heard for the first time since Star Trek (1966), now narrated by Leonard Nimoy, however this has been changed slightly. Instead of saying, “…its five-year mission…” and “to seek out new life,” this now says, “her ongoing mission…” and “to seek out new lifeforms”.

“You’ll Die Laughing !”
A striking movie poster that’s a well fitting design for this dark comedic horror “Stitches”. Designed by creative arts agency OC this British UK quad from 2012 is a great looking poster focuses on Ross Noble in full clown make-up as the dis-figured titular serial killer ‘Stitches’. A very creepy and eye-catching image. Although designed to look like a battered and distressed, it is printed on a heavier stock paper (which enhances and gives the muted colours a real depth) it actually presents near perfectly being originally rolled (as issued) and is genuinely scarce with very limited showings in a small number of ‘art-house’ & ‘specialist’ cinemas. A memorable piece of ‘modern’ horror film memorabilia that is hugely collectable encompassing not just movie fans but also the horror art marketplace and fans of the comedian Ross Noble.
Trivia: The medication that Tommy takes to relieve anxiety is called “Hypnocil”, the same name as the medication used to suppress dreams in the Nightmare on Elm Street series.
