made their first American television appearance, live on the Ed Sullivan Show. Retail
channel initiatives will continue throughout the year and will coincide with
the dates of The Beatles’ first American tour that kicked off in August, 1964.

will give everyone an opportunity to relive the excitement of 1964 all over

sets featuring The Beatles most celebrated albums, and unique wood wall clocks
featuring the classic imagery from the Yellow Submarine movie, are some of Vandor’s distinctive Beatles products to be featured throughout this
anniversary year.

the most important and influential bands of all time, and it’s exciting to be
able to help the British Invasion continue on with our iconic Beatles
collections,” said Tom Russo, CEO of Vandor. “Through our unique
