Hey guys this will be a work in progress which will take me a while to compile & will initially concentrate on UK printed matter so please don't muck the post up just yet...
It is unknown if UK programmes existed for either Dr.No or From Russia with Love?

Very interesting, Donk. Thanks so much for sharing. I'd love to know what's inside of them besides the cover art, if it's at all possible to give us a run-down commentary for each one at some point?

Sir Miles

Brilliant stuff - thanks for sharing -{

Bond Collectors' Weekends

Whew! Wow!

casino_royale

Really a great collection!

ACACIA_AVENUE

Agreed - well done Donk. I'm wondering why you have the two names here on AJB? ?:)

danjaq_0ff

He is known to his friends as Donk, maybe you should try Mr ppw 3o6r

Yes, I thought as much. Thanks for the explanation.

Great work Donk, some of those I've never seen before

Variation Thunderball UK brochure and ticket - I have been trying to find where I hid that ticket for 12 months, just rang the guy I bought it from 8 years ago and he said its probably in the brochure , It was !

Sir Miles

Great items -{

ppw3o6r

Very nice. That means there are 3 different versions of the UK programme as there were two different premiere programmes which look almost identical. I have never seen the NSPCC McGinnis/McCarthy artwork cover programme before -{

ACACIA_AVENUE

Now that is very nice, I really like the ticket, thanks for sharing -{ ..........................not as good as a moon buggy though

Love that Thunderball ticket Nick

Cheers Rueben, trouble is as soon as you put out a photo suddenly 20 people instantly get a ticket for their collection, good job the reverse also has unique artwork !

Sir Miles

Hello,

Some time poster here.

I have the following if images are required.

Synopsis for;
Dr No
FRWL colour variation (I don’t have the b/w version)
Thunderball colour variation (have both)
DAF to DAD

Campaign Books for
FRWL variation – only indicated on back cover due to its being printed by an alternative printer. (I have both)
LALD to TWINE (although GE, TND and TWINE had spiral bound Marketing Guides)

Premiere Brochures for;
Various alternate versions for local premieres – if interested.
I don’t have the DAF brochure!!

At the risk of asking a stupid question, would you be interested in selling the FRWL synopsis and DAF brochure.

And would Voiture be interested in selling his Th brochure?

PM me for both if in any way, shape or form interested!

Simes

Fantastically, I managed to pick up the CR'67 Premiere Brochure and Synopsis this last week.

I must admit to not even knowing there was a Premiere for this film. And I didn't previously have the Synopsis either.

As part of this little package, the seller had also thrown in the Production Notes and a Columbia Press Release on a size of paper that was neither A4 nor the American foolscap. Very long and narrow.

Anyway, chuffed.

Simes

Can I ask what the variations were between the two main Thunderball Premiere brochures were?

Also, I am guessing the Thunderball McGinnis variation is for a regional premiere...??

Simes

Also, and while not wishing to steal the thread host's thunder, some Synopsis and Local Premiere Brochure variations together with the CR '67 and NSNA World brochures.

Please feel free to dump in another thread if preferred elsewhere.

I am missing the Thunderball Premiere Brochure and FRWL synopsis variations. I do have all else that is displayed in this thread plus the later synopsis up to and including DAD, and campaign books / marketing guides up to and inc. CR - but these seem freely available.

Cheers.

Post one now updated to include the 1960s "uber rare" US programs -{

Simes

Hmm. I was talking with a US friend just two days ago about what, if any of the Bond films, had US Screening Programs printed for them.

I was aware that Spy, Mr and FYEO had them only because I had seen Only these three on ebay.

Donk, can you confirm from and to when these were published? And was the run of programs complete? There weren't any omitted from the run?

Either way, the chap asked me if I would start collecting, and I said probably not, just because I could never imagine finding them all.

Have you also got all the later programs?

Many thanks.

I have only ever seen two US premier programs for Goldfinger. This is the only Thunderball I have ever seen and I have only ever seen two of the YOLT in all my years of collecting. Only the Goldfinger is dated as it came in a glossy Gala charity folder. I too I have asked US friends for these without success. The last YOLT I saw was perhaps 15 or more years ago. I have not heard of a hint of US programs or brochures for Dr No, FRWL or OHMSS. They all measure 28cm x 21.5cm -{

Simes

I am amazed these things aren't as proliferate as the 1 Sheets and the Pressbooks. One can only wonder why? You've done well with what you have then, quite clearly.

Thanks for that fella.
