“THE BEATLES’ CHRISTMAS RECORD”

 (1963 LYNTONE – ULTRA RARE 33 rpm FAN CLUB ONLY RELEASE!)

THIS IS A SUPERB COPY OF ‘THE BEATLES CHRISTMAS RECORD’ BY THE BEATLES FROM 1963. THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE SEVEN CHRISTMAS RECORDS THAT THE BEATLES SENT OUT TO MEMBERS OF THEIR FAN CLUB - THE BEATLE PEOPLE! THIS IS THE FIRST PRESSING AND IT IS COMPLETE WITH IT’S ORIGINAL GATEFOLD JACKET. THE SECOND PRESS DID NOT HAVE THE JACKET. THE JACKET FEATURES PHOTOS OF JOHN, PAUL, GEORGE AND RINGO ON THE FRONT COVER. THE NEWSLETTER IS PRINTED INSIDE THE SLEEVE AND ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE THERE ARE MORE PHOTOS OF THE BOYS! THE ONE-SIDED FLEXI RECORD PLAYS AT 33 1/3RPM.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS LYNTONE LYN 492

THE SLEEVE

THE RARE YELLOW GATEFOLD SLEEVE, WITH STAPLED FLAP, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR DISCOLOURATION AND AND A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS. THERE IS SOME MINOR EDGE WEAR. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST OF THESE SLEEVES THAT I HAVE SEEN. ALL THE TEXT IS CLEAR AS ARE THE PHOTOS. THE STAPLED FLAP IS UNDAMAGED AND THE STAPLES HAVE DISCOLOURED UT NOT RUSTED.

THE FLEXI DISC

THE ORIGINAL THICK FLEXI-VINYL IS IN AT LEAST EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. WHEN I JUST PLAYED IT THE SPINDLE HOLE WAS INCREDIBLY TIGHT AND THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN IT’S VERY FIRST PLAY?! I CANNOT SEE ANY MARKS AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB WITH JUST THE USUAL SLIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE FROM A FLEXI DISC.

THE LABEL

THE BLUE AND WHITE LABEL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. IT IS FLAWLESS.

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
