Rare Beatles document from 1964, one of only a small number of surviving copies of their advance itinerary to the United States in February 1964, their first U.S. visit that ushered in ''Beatlemania'' in the States. Three page document on three separate sheets is dated 4 February 1964, three days before their touchdown in New York on PanAm flight #101. Their transportation to the Plaza Hotel is outlined, followed by rehearsals for the Ed Sullivan Show the next day, and their appearance on the show a week later. Various events fill up the week, including a concert at Carnegie Hall that was supposed to be recorded by Capitol Records before the Musicians Union stopped it. Pages measure 8.5'' x 11'', with stamps on front page reading ''Time Carbon / Feb 21 1964 / Edit Ref'' and ''Return to Edit Ref''. A few handwritten notes, overall very good condition.
