The Beatles were not the headline act, that distinction going to Mitzi Gaynor (go figure), but 70-75 million viewers tuned in, and it�s a sure bet that a bunch of them weren’t at all interested in Mitzi Gaynor. The show is re-broadcast on September 20.

Then “Yes It Is” is begun and completed in 14 takes. Take 2 of “Yes It Is”, with the ending from the master version, is included on “The Beatles Anthology 2” (Disc one, Track 2).
