There was a "zine" issue of Big Brother before Shiloh Issue #1. Anyone have it?

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. Sorry about that.

So I have seen lots of scans of old world/blind/101/plan b catalogs online. But I also have a very clear recollection of holding and reading a "pre-issue" of big brother that was just zeroxed on paper. I forget if it was stapled/folded like a zine or just corner stapled and a few full sheets of paper.

I am pretty sure it was given out at shops. And there was a coupon to send a check and subscribe on complete blind faith that a magazine would soon exist. But it was a few pages I think. Maybe even just a double sides flyer. But man I have everything Big Brother ever put out, print/media wise and this is the only thing I am missing.

would love even just a scan of it.

back in this era ...

I don’t remember that but it sounds really cool. Have you tried contacting Kevin at the Lookback Library? If anyone would have it he would.

Ya for sure, but he doesn't. Like I said, it wasn't much but it definitely existed. Maybe part of one of these catalogs, maybe on its own, but I held it in my hands at a friends house and read it and was like "why would I send $40 if the mag doesn't even exist yet?"

Been thinking about it for decades. Like a long lost crush.

You could try to mail Sean Cliver. I think he would like to help you out. I once e-mailed him a couple of questions about Big Brother and he wrote a lengthy reply. Very decent fellow.

Also is there any mention in the Big Brother book?
