Exceptionally rare original program for the Beatles’ appearance on the ABC television show Big Night Out, four pages, 8 x 10, signed in the ‘Autographs’ section on the back cover in ballpoint by the Beatles: “John Lennon,” “George Harrison,” “Paul McCartney, xxx,” and “Ringo Starr, xxx.” The program is also signed by the show's hosts Mike and Bernie Winters, and by Lionel Blair, who was a guest on the show. In very good to fine condition, with light creasing and intersecting folds. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from the daughter of the original recipient: “I enclose the Beatles handwritten autographs on the ABC Television Big Night Out programme. My parents attended the event on 1st September 1963 and the Beatles signed the programme.”
This was the Beatles’ first appearance on the show, with filming taking place at Studio One in Didsbury Studio Centre, Manchester, England, on the evening of September 1, 1963. In front of a studio audience of 600 spectators, the Beatles mimed three songs: ‘From Me to You,’ ‘She Loves You,’ and ‘Twist and Shout.’ The show was transmitted across the ITV network on September 7, 1963.
