The Beatles - From Then To You (The Beatles Fun Club Christmas Record 1970) Apple, Mono. First Pressing, December 18, 1970.

Background:

Although the Beatles Fun Club continued with its activities, with the group no longer in existence by the end of 1970, there was no chance of issuing a new Christmas disc for the 1970 holiday season. Instead, Fan Club members received an exclusive long-playing album containing the Christmas messages from the 1963 through 1969 flexi-discs, claiming the curious title of the first post-breakup Beatles LP and a fantastic chance to experience the Beatles' journey from beginning to end through their very funny Christmas messages!

Key Features:

1st Matrix: LYN. 2154 & LYN. 2153. The discs have Lyntone matrix numbers as they were not pressed by EMI.   1st Labels: Have “An E.M.I.

Visual Grade : NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT PLUS!

Side 1 has a superb 'factory-fresh' deep-gloss playing surface with no marks or blemishes when viewed in good natural light or strong direct halogen spotlight. Side 2 has very light non-sounding bag-rash with no marks visible under strong direct halogen spotlight. The disc sits flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. 

Audio Grade: EXCELLENT PLUS!

Very quiet pressing with only light crackle audible in places as is common for spoken-word recordings. No loud obtrusive pops, no repeat clicks, obvioulsy no sticks or skips. This copy has clearly only been played a handful of times on good quality equipment. There is no sign of groove/play wear. Fantastic!

Sleeve: EXCELLENT!

Glossy clean front, no ring wear, crease lines to the top and bottom corners only, perfect spine and edges, sharp corners, clean back.
