Per Heritage Auction archive, this is an international one sheet.
Curious, too, that your image, is the very SAME image that is on the
Heritage archive site, for a copy that was sold on Jan 10, 2010. It
sold for 47.00, inc. the BP. (The bent upper left corner in both
images is identical).
Were you the buyer?

Hi,
I’m brand new to this group, but have been collecting film
memorabilia, particularly material related to a 1974 Brian De Palma
film called “Phantom of the Paradise,” for about thirty years, and
recently acquired an item that baffles me; I’m wondering if any of
you might have any insight you’d be kind enough to share.
The poster is pictured here:
http://www.swanarchives.org/AJ/mysteryintl.jpg
It’s one-sheet sized: 27”x41”, and is on the same sort of glossy
stock as was used for American one sheets in the 70’s.
While at first glance it looks like a regular Style A one-sheet,
(1) there’s no PG logo (suggesting it might be for an international
release); (2) there’s no NSS verbiage at the bottom-center and no
NSS number (just “Litho in USA”); and (3) most oddly of all, the
copyright notice under the 20th Century Fox logo says “1978,” when
the film was released in 1974, and there was no international
release (as far as I’ve been able to determine) that commenced in
1978. Also, it has three horizontal folds, but NO vertical fold,
which seems odd to me.
While the relative size of the artwork is correct as compared to
the regular Style A one-sheets, the credits at the bottom are in a
smaller font than on the one-sheet, and are also in yellow, rather
than inin the white print that’s found on the one-sheet. (For
comparison, you could take a look at the one-sheet on my site, at
http://www.swanarchives.org, at this particular page: http://
www.swanarchives.org/Promotion.asp ) And, if you’re actually
interested in memorabilia from this film, the non-American stuff
I’ve been able to find is here: http://www.swanarchives.org/
Promotion_World.asp
Although I’ve named the file “mysteryintl.jpg,” that’s just my own
name for it, and the use of “intl” shouldn’t be construed as
evidence that it’s a poster for an international release… I was
just guessing.
Any help? This is keeping me up at night.
Thanks!
