Under the Cherry Moon is a 1986 romantic musical comedy-drama film starring Prince, and marking his directorial debut. The film also stars former The Time member Jerome Benton, Steven Berkoff, Kristin Scott Thomas (in her feature film debut), and Francesca Annis.
Although the film underperformed critically and commercially, winning five Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, tying with Howard the Duck, its soundtrack album, entitled Parade, went platinum, selling over a million copies.
Background - I worked in the UK video distribution industry from 1982 to 1994. Each week I received a delivery of video sleeves for the future new releases and also video posters and other point-of-sale material. Around 1985 I started collecting the posters and other interesting promotional items. Between one and several of each went straight from the large flat cardboard shipping packaging in which they were received from the distribution warehouse in London, into cardboard boxes. Later I bought large plastic stacking crates that enabled posters up to 20 x 30" to be stored flat.
The larger ones were loosely folded as required to fit into the crates. Some posters came pre-folded from the printers.
The common approximate sizes:
24" x 17" (60cm x 42cm)
27" x 18" (68cm x 45cm) e.g. Warner
28" x 20" (70cm x 50cm)
31" x 20" (80cm x 50cm)
33" x 24" (85cm x 60cm) e.g. RCA
40" x 30" (102cm x 76cm) Quad, One-Sheet
Banner posters, usually around 12" x 60"
The crates have been stored in dry, dark conditions with little disturbance. Therefore most of the items are in very good condition considering their age. This is commonly known as "A1" or "Near-mint". The posters have never been displayed or exposed to direct sunlight, therefore I am listing as "NEW" rather than used. They have been handled with care a few times during their journey through time and space to the present day, and any defects collected along the way will be mentioned in the listing.
All are original posters that came direct from the UK film distributors. I am slowly going through them, and any duplicates I find, along with others that don't interest me personally for my own collection, are being listed for sale.
