I'd generally agree with you Matt, although the block EMI logo starts appearing
on posters from the end of 1970, e.g. Railway Children quad (tho not UK
1-sheet!), Raging Moon quad etc.
Similar situation exists with UK 1-sheets with the Thorn EMI logo. EMI didn't
merge with Thorn until 1979,

>From the Warner logo, credits layout and "sensitized paper" statement,
this looks to be from 1942 to around 1950, so quite likely first release, or
possibly early re-release (though I don't know of a UK re-release that
early).
