Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! The Beatles electrified a generation of young Americans the night of Sunday, February 9, 1964, when they made their first live appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. An astonishing 73 million TV viewers tuned in as John, Paul, George and Ringo performed five songs, including their red-hot smash "I Want To Hold Your Hand", and that was it, the four mop tops had launched the British Invasion and conquered America all in one night. From us to you, please please yourself with this glorious framed display featuring the original signatures of all four members of the Fab Four, as well as the late Ed Sullivan, and a fantastic 16x20 color print of a candid behind-the-scenes shot from the show's set. The complete set of four Beatles signatures features two separate autograph album pages displayed on either side of Sullivan's signed index card. Ringo Starr and the late John Lennon have both signed in blue ballpoint on the one displayed on the right, with Ringo having written "Beatles" above his stage name and both adding "XX" to their autographs. Paul McCartney signed below his handwritten "To John", all in red ballpoint, on the autograph page displayed on the left with the late George Harrison's black ballpoint signature below Macca's autograph. Comes with an LOA signed by Frank Caiazzo who states that all four Beatles signatures date from 1963. A Tracks LOA is also included for the Beatles' autographs and a PSA/DNA LOA is included for the late Ed Sullivan's signature on a lined index card. The autographs and photo are displayed in a black and white matte along with a plaque that reads “The Fab Four” along with the four Beatles’ names, “Ed Sullivan Show Debut 1964” and two Beatles pins, all mounted in a 30 1/4" x 26 7/8” black wood frame. The Lennon/Starr signed autograph sheet displays to 3” x 4”, the McCartney/Harrison signed sheet displays to 2 1/2" x 3”, and the signed Sullivan index card displays to 2” x 3 1/2".
