[O] 1963
Brian Epstein flies to the US with Billy J. Kramer for a
promotional visit. While there, Epstein meets with television
variety show host Ed Sullivan, who wants to let the American
audience see the latest crazy fad from overseas on his program. To
Sullivan's astonishment, Epstein insists that The Beatles be given
top billing. Eventually they work out a deal: The Beatles will be
given top billing in return for three appearances on "The Ed
Sullivan Show" (two live, one taped) at a fee that is well below
normal (a total fee of only $10,000). As it turns out, this proves
to be a fantastic bargain for The Beatles, who would reap seemingly
instantaneous fame from their appearances on Sullivan's television
show.
[B] 1963
