About
This was the second of three performances given by The Beatles for the hugely popular 1960s television show Ready, Steady, Go!
As before, recording took place at Television House on London’s Kingsway. Following a quick rehearsal The Beatles appeared on the show, which was broadcast live from 6.15pm-7pm.
From Lot 365 – UNSEEN FILM OF THE BEATLES – READY STEADY GO (omegaauctions.co.uk) – A reel of 8mm film (no audio) containing approx 18 minutes of colour footage, shot c April 1964 by Rediffusion lighting supervisor Teddy Fader. Also with two USB sticks containing copies of the footage in various formats. There is approx 12 minutes of footage of the Beatles. There is approx 11 minutes of footage of RSG! (also some of the ‘Mod Ball’ at Wembley) and approx 7 mins of ‘Around The Beatles’. The footage is of exceptional quality, with clear and well-composed close-ups of the band, both backstage and onstage at both RSG and ‘Around the Beatles’. The candid shots show the group mugging to camera, smoking (of course!), laughing amongst themselves. None of the footage has been previously released/published. Also with footage of Dusty Springfield, Helen Shapiro, Cilla Black and other stars who performed at RSG. The film is sold by the family of Teddy Fader and includes full copyright (s).
