I'd have to concede US Jaws with the blue background is better. I think that poster in the photo is the original Aussie Jaws.

He was referring to the poster not being the original as in it is copied from the US to make the Aussie version and the US is the original. I had to ask him to. I was wondering is there a bootleg on this one I don;t know about.

Original, as in the originally created artwork for the US OS that was also then used on the AU OS. Not meaning bootleg, a later copy, etc. Sorry for any possible confusion.

Not me intention.

Good for you that you are showing appropriate respect and deference to the Poster Messiah....

Italians changed the color too. In this case, I kinda like the light blue.

Didn't know the Aussie 1S came in light blue but it does. Rerelease?

Was wondering the same thing.

They did make blue daybills but a different shade. This shade of blue is the same that was used for Jaws 2 making me wonder as well if there was an Australian RR using this. The red in the title looks to be the same as Jaws 2, the purple ones are a different red.

Got this email from an Australian collector about the blue Australian one sheet. This collector consigned the upcoming Jaws six sheet at EMP:

Locally, M.A.P.S did the majority of local authorised printing in the 70s. However, I have one sheets and daybills of Jaws from Australia and they were printed in the USA. In my opinion, this is either a very clever fake (using the M.A.P.S logo and Australian “M” rating) but more than likely original. The blue was probably an artistic choice, given the studios didn’t really care if the original artwork was tweaked by the local distributor in that era.

Poor Teresa Wright on that daybill... the film title, in this case, seems appropriate.

And Ray Milland was also aged about 10 years, too.

Ari · « **Reply #570 on:** November 26, 2014, 11:08:38 PM »

its a shame, as the colours and shading of these would have made them nice if the artist could have made the faces better.
Ahh well.

Like anything... it's always touch and go...

(And this thread fun, for me, goes back to when Rick and Matt would counter, with some US examples that had also not 'gone as planned.')

Jeff you're not playing fair

erik1925 · « **Reply #574 on:** December 01, 2014, 02:45:45 PM »

Why not fair? It's an AU daybill from 1979 -- so it's not a later RR item.

The one I posted was unique artwork created specifically in AU for the movie... and not just "borrowing" the US art to make the version u posted.
