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) footage of 'Around The Beatles' and also seemingly footage from 'Ready Steady Go' in November of 1964.

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). A letter transferring copyright will be provided to winning bidder.

Further provenance is included with the addition of a file on the USB stick (provided to winning bidder) which shows a snippet from a episode of 'Play Your Cards Right' where host Bruce Forsyth brings Teddy Fader from the wings to recognise his birthday. Also - a letter on Rediffusion stationery appointing Teddy to his position as lighting supervisor, a second letter commending him on a job well done on March 20th 1964 (filming of RSG), scanned image of Teddy behind the camera, a Rediffusion promotional booklet.
