Officially Licensed By The Beatles Apple, Ltd. This is an unopened box as shown in photos, sealed from manufacture, never opened or removed from packing box. Mint and brand new, sealed box set
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.
