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.

I have no specifics on this title but I believe MGM records reissued
many of its classic MGM musical soundtrack albums in the 1970s and
as a promotion included special reprint posters of the original one
sheets with the record release. 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

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.
