After Mad Max came STONE (1974) very rare original Biker movie UK quad poster

  
After Mad Max came - STONE (1974) rare original Biker movie UK quad poster. Measures standard quad crown size of approx 30 x 40 inches. Printed by Stafford & Co. STONE was an Australian film about a cop who joins an outlaw biker gang to investigate who is murdering them and why. The anarchist Road Warrior attitude of the film heavily influenced the production of Mad Max, and indeed, several actors that appeared in Stone went on to act in Mad Max, including Hugh Keays-Byrne (The Toe-Cutter) and Roger Ward (Fifi McAffee).

Although the tag-line on the poster says'After Mad Max came Stone', Stone was actually released in Australia in 1974, whereas Mad Max was released in 1979. Due to the success of Mad Max in the UK in 1979, Stone was released quickly afterwards here in 1980.

This quad poster is from that 1980 first UK release, and it is actually a much rarer and harder to find poster than the Mad Max one. Overall condition - very good.

One 5mm tear on the left-hand side border edge, one 2mm nick on upper border edge. Small separation at the cross-folds. I have taken several photos so that all areas of the poster can be viewed in detail. Please also see photos for your own appraisal of the general condition.

Any questions or further photos required please ask. PACKAGING FOR POSTING INFORMATION - All the items I send will be very carefully packaged using strong and secure posting materials.

I know people are very concerned about how something they've just bought will be packaged - especially if it's valuable and rare. I also know all too well the disappointment of receiving something damaged in the post because of lazy, cheap and shoddy packaging. So, therefore to assure my buyers that their goods will be carefully packed, I will explain in detail below how I prepare and package my items. FLAT ITEMS such as folded posters, lobby cards, press books, etc, are put into polythene sleeves and then placed between two pieces of THICK card before being sealed in a'Do Not Bend' envelope. The extra card will make this package an absolute minimum of 10 mm thick to prevent bending. ROLLED POSTERS are placed inside a sleeve of polythene tubing and then put into a 3 inch diameter tube which has strong 2.5 mm thick walls. The poster will be cushioned at both ends inside the tube with tissue paper or bubble wrap, etc, to prevent movement. The ends of the tube will be tape-sealed on the outside. LINEN-BACKED POSTERS and irregular sized or shaped posters will be rolled in kraft paper, and then bubble-wrapped.

Depending on the type of poster the tube may be anything between a 3 inch and 6 inch diameter. All tubes will have minimum 2.5 mm thick walls. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS such as collectable figures, props, etc, will be bubble-wrapped and cushioned with crushed paper or something similar inside a sturdy cardboard box. ANYTHING SEALED inside any package (polythene sleeve, cardboard, bubble-wrap, etc) is done with masking tape.

I find this is strong enough to seal securely, but the low stickiness of it means it is easy to remove, and therefore will not cause any damage by accidentally sticking to the item. Multiple items of the same type I. It may do at checkout, but I don't know for sure.
