Here is a super early valuable and highly desirable Big Brother handbill from the Matrix club.  The small club was located in the Marina district of San Francisco  & was managed for a short period by Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane fame.  The club produced a great series of posters and handbills.   Several early advertisements for the club like this one used the illustrations of Heinrich Kley a late nineteenth century German cartoonist. The quote is a referecne to Big Brother guitarist Pete Albin.
