This is the gorgeous first printing of the US one sheet with the famous Tom Jung artwork. It is unused and flat-folded. This style poster had four different printings of this "Style A" one sheet poster. The first printing had the original NSS number of 77-21-0, while the subsequent three printings had the 77-21 NSS number. The first three printings all had "Style A" printed on the bottom border, while the fourth printing didn't.

This poster is clean and in near-mint condition, with only minor bits of wear from handling.
