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.

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.
