Various: The Ed Sullivan Show

By GRAHAM REID

(Herald rating: * *)

For social historians and Beatle-obsessives. Here's the four Ed Sullivan shows which broke the Beatles Stateside in 1964. Up against acrobats and comedians such as Soupy Sales they still look ineffably cool. Small pleasures to be had out of Cab Calloway and a young Cilla Black, but if this period interests then go to the superb double-disc doco The Beatles First US Visit, released last month.
