Bruce: Agree with everything except that HEAD does still have a cult following, not Monkee fans but people into non-mainstream, bizarre and/or outre movies. -Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce Hershenson To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2010 9:26 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] QUESTION:Is This 1968 1-SHT Original or Not?

Of course it is impossible to say from his crappy photo, but my inclination is that it IS genuine from 1968. His other items come from an archive of a TV magazine of the 1960s, and it seems quite reasonable that the studio might have sent them a rolled version of this poster. Of course, the price is another issue. This poster does not sell for much over $100 folded, except on expensive dealers' websites, so it is hard to say that it is worth double that unfolded. Personally, I think "Monkee-mania" is long dead and is never coming back. They were an imitation Beatles group (who did some fine music), but as an investment I would still to Beatles posters over Monkees posters any day! Just my 2 cents.

An "original" one sheet from the 1968 Cult Film HEAD, starring The Monkees and some other noteworthy stars. If you check, not only is this one sheet ROLLED (finding any rolled one sheet from that era is almost impossible...highly improbable at best). Also, if you look closely, the poster feature dot-matrix printing, which I don't think was that prominent back in 1968. I have no interest in this poster...just thought I'd share with other members what goes through my "head" when I'm looking at this HEAD one sheet described as being original...while certain things about it point to the fact that it very well might not be. Just throwing this out for discussion. I think anything we can do to help each other discern whether a poster is the real deal or not is ultimately good for the group as a whole and good for the hobby...
