Beatles and Little Richard Original 'Tower Ballroom' Concert Program (New Brighton, October 12, 1962) Original concert program for Little Richard’s appearance with the Beatles at the Tower Ballroom in New Brighton, England, on October 12, 1962, 7 x 8.5, 10 pages, presented by Brian Epstein’s NEMS Enterprises. The program features a large portrait and biographical profile of Little Richard, individual portraits and biographical text on the Beatles, and the evening’s running order, which places the Beatles immediately before Little Richard. The bill also includes the Merseybeats, the Four Jays, Billy J. Kramer with the Coasters, the Big Three, Lee Curtis with the All Stars, Pete MacLaine with the Dakotas, the Undertakers, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, and Gus Travis and the Midnighters, with Bob Wooler introducing the acts. Of particular interest is a Cavern Club advertisement congratulating the Beatles on the release of their first Parlophone recording, ‘Love Me Do’ / ‘P.S. I Love You,’ alongside an EMI advertisement promoting the new single. In very good condition, with the outer cover detached from the program; the front and back covers, previously separated from each other, have been reattached with tape along the inside spine. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks. The Tower Ballroom concert took place one week after Parlophone released ‘Love Me Do’ / ‘P.S. I Love You’ on October 5, 1962. The Beatles shared bills with Little Richard again the following month during their residency at the Star-Club in Hamburg. On October 17, five days after the Tower Ballroom show, the Beatles made their first broadcast television appearance on Granada’s People and Places.
