PRE-ORDER TITLE. RELEASED FRIDAY DECEMBER 15TH 2017.
The Beatles’ annual holiday tradition of recording jolly Christmas messages for fan club members was an important part of the band’s relationship with their most ardent supporters, affectionately referred to by them as “Beatle People.”
Spanning 1963 to 1969, The Beatles’ holiday recordings were
originally pressed on flexi discs and mailed to fan club members each
December.
Never released beyond the fan club until now, The Beatles’
seven holiday messages have been newly pressed on a rainbow of
seven-inch colored vinyl singles for The Christmas Records box set.
The limited edition collection presents each vinyl single with its
original flexi disc sleeve artwork, accompanied by a 16-page booklet
with recording notes and reproductions of the fan club’s National
Newsletters, which were mailed to members with the holiday flexi discs.
