I have only ever sighted one other image of a The Swan daybill and it was from Phil Edwards and was without the censorship rating also and with some small paper loss in the white section of the left hand top border.. The poster is rare and the only other copy I know about was sold by Bruce in 1995 but it is too old to have an image currently showing of so its status is unknown. It is interesting that some MGM titles from around this period such as The Swan are very hard to locate but there are some MGM titles such as Ransom and The Rack it appears are always readily available.
Not the most magnificent of my daybills, but I love that these sorts of films once ran along side 'legit' films back in the 70s:
Australian censorship being what it is / was, 'Tropical Ecstasy' made it's maiden run in the US in 1970, but wasn't passed for release here until late 1978. Lord knows what sort of mess the censors made of it - it's US run time was 90 minutes, the Australian release was a trim 72 minutes; just a mere 18 minutes of cuts!
An interesting film distributor I intend to talk about one day. If you have any other daybills from this distributor please post the images here or at least name the titles for me.

Not into sci fi, but am loving that Satellite in the Sky...might have to track me down one someday...
Congratulations on some fine pieces there.

Either way, congrats!
