When Beatles disbanded in 1970, Apple records compiled all of their 1963-69 annual Christmas messages which the Fab Four had sent to their fan clubs and worldwide appreciation societies via a series of extremely rare flexi-discs and 45rpm singles, and issued them on a single album. To our best knowledge, this album has never been released anywhere in the world in this format and is brutally hard to find. Indeed, this is one of the toughest items in the entire Beatles catalogue. In many ways, even the infamous "Butcher cover" is easier to find.

WHILE MANY CONVINCING COUNTERFEIT COPIES OF THIS ALBUM EXIST, WE ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY, ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, GENUINE PRESSING OF THE ALBUM. WE ARE SO CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS THE AUTHENTIC PRESSING THAT WE WILL GLADLY PROVIDE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY AND PROVENANCE TO THE WINNING BIDDER UPON REQUEST.

ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THE ORIGINAL PRESSING ARE IN PLACE: clear and legible inscription on the spine of the cover , cardboard cover with slick folded and pasted onto the back cover; thick vinyl, fine and precise font and lettering on the label, clear and sharp images on both front and back cover; The inscription “Theatre Royal” above John Lennon’s head on the third from the left image at the bottom row is clear, visible and perfectly legible; the photo image of the Beatles’ 1964 Christmas flexi-disc on the back cover is NOT grainy and spotty (as is the case on most counterfeit pressings) .Please contact us if you have any doubts, questions or comments BEFORE placing a bid.

While we GUARANTEE that the album is authentic, once the album is opened (unsealed) we will NOT accept the return of this album or grant refund under any pretext, explanation or claim whatsoever. If in doubt, the bidder should return the album to us UNSEALED AND UNOPENED. NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS. PLEASE BE GUIDED ACCORDINGLY!

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID)

(b)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)             Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

(d)            Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.
