ah the first deluxe letterbox series from mgm/UA, yes i've heard of that. one of my buddies on ebay sells a lot of those titles sealed and not sealed.

i Have the deluxe CAV laserdisc THX set of thunderball which is identical to the dvd release of the special edition. I bought my copy sealed too bad it was'nt during the original release because i can no longer send away for the free poster repro.

Very cool poster the original theater copies go for big bucks now, its the same one on the back of ash's cover he made for your project. Bond with the Rocket pack, the girls, and the underwater scene with spear guns. three scenes or a tri-poster.

by the way i really appreciate the work you did on the three banned bonds of preserving the legacy of Terrence Young, through the commentary, and the repro of the CAV discs onto dvd because these were the only approved versions by Terrence before his death.

Thunderball was my fave bond film as a kid as i was very imaginative back then, and really thought the underwater sequence was cool and the rocket pack. Plus bonds care was more than words could describe, i was just wowed by the whole thing as a kid because i'd never seen anything quite as imaginative or fun except for star wars or indiana jones.
