This rare and obscure Original Handbill printing example is missing the black-ink pass! 

 

Here is the Original Handbill to the December 16th and 17th Christmas shows held at Winterland in 1967. The same lineup also played at the Shrine in Los Angeles the following day (AOR-3.52). The was an image designed by Gut, one of the Hell’s Angels. Gut also designed several Big Brother issues for Sokol Hall. The handbill here tends to show up less frequently than the poster. Interestingly, handbills that were generally produced in greater quantities tend to have a smaller survival rate than the posters themselves.
