As has just been pointed out to me in an email by another forum member emovieposter.com has in the last 24 hours, changed (almost) all the dates on the Dating the South Daybill poster he previously sold, again without making mention (as an edit) that the original sale price was when the poster was incorrectly dated.
By the way, as a write One Sheets are wrong still.
So basically anyone researching the price of this poster (along with all the other posters emovieposter.com changes the records of) will be fed a false record of sale.
The ''Walt Disney's Greatest And Happiest Production'' tagline, along with the happy rabbit head image did appear in Australian first release newspaper advertising for ''Song Of The South'' published in 1947, the year of its release here, and also in 1948. This poster one would think would have to be first release then.
Wow! Great looking Daybill! So is that an original ‘46 release?
I saw saw this one on EMP as a ‘46 release.
Is this poster also from the Australian first release, perhaps a second printing, or was it printed from what certainly appears to have been a 1953 Australian re-release ?
''Latest feature-length production'' as Matt pointed out would surely indicate a first release poster.
A very similat design to the original first release U.S.A. one sheet.
The RKO Radio logo is the one used by RKO in Australia in 1947, the year of this release.
All indications would have to point to this version being printed for the Australian 1947 first release.
The alternative version.
I had mentioned earlier on this thread the following
''The ''Walt Disney's Greatest And Happiest Production tagline, along with the happy rabbit head image did appear in Australian first release newspaper advertising for ''Song Of The South'' published in 1947, the year of it's release here, and also in 1948.

On further investigation I have come up with the following information to contemplate.
The wording ''Walt Disney's Greatest And Happiest Production'' tagline has been located in a 1954 newspaper advertisent for the re-release in Australia.
The RKO logo is one of two logo versions used in Australia from around 1948 then 1949 and throughout the 1950's and is the lesser used version that was printed on RKO posters during this period. I haven't found any other RKO daybills pre 1948 with this style of logo that appears on this poster.
The poster printing for this version is still undetermined in my mind. I had earlier asked on this thread ''Is this poster also from the Australian first release. perhaps a second printing. or was it printed from what certainly appears to have been a 1953 re-release? I really don't know the answer and my thinking would only be a quess.
