Soundtrack album posters were usually 22"x33" so they could fit in the record sleeve. This gave them similar proportions to a 1-sheet, though they were smaller than the standard 1-sheet size. Probably the best-known of these soundtrack LP posters is the one for Singin' in the Rain, which still occasionally turns up on eBay mis-identified as an original 1-sheet.

I remember those records as "twofers" - gatefold albums with two or more films on each double album. But I don't remember the posters. Doubtful that they would have been anywhere near the right size, anyway.

They were on different stock from the originals but I don't remember the size of the posters. In any case if you think the paper stock was different on the one sheet offerred to you, it's probably a reprint. FRANC -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Glenn Taranto Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2008 9:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] High Socity Reprint question... First off... Hope every one in Texas is doing OK after the big blow... Secondly, I was offered a trade today for an original release High Society one sheet. It wasn't folded and had no NSS number. Other than that all the printing on the bottom was correct for that poster. It was 27x40 1/2. It was obviously trimmed on the bottom as the trim was not as sharp as the other three sides. There was nothing indicating it was a reprint. I explained to him that I felt it was a reprint but he insisted that he worked at MGM and has had this poster since the mid-sixties and that it came from the president's office. He also claimed to have sold another exactly like it, unfolded. Another red flag I thought. Following all that the paper didn't feel right either. Anyone know of early reprints on this title or run across anything like this on this title before? I'd like to be honest with the guy and tell him exactly what he has. I would appreciate any comments. Many thanks, Glenn T.
