“THE BEATLES’ CHRISTMAS RECORD”
(1963 LYNTONE – ULTRA RARE 33 rpm FAN CLUB ONLY RELEASE!)
ON OFFER HERE IS THIS ORIGINAL COPY OF ‘THE BEATLES CHRISTMAS RECORD ’ 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 No. 2 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 SLEEVE
THE RARE YELLOW GATEFOLD SLEEVE, WITH STAPLED FLAP, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR, SOME DISCOLOURATION AND A COUPLE OF SMALL STAINS. 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 BUT HAVE NOT RUSTED.
THE FLEXI DISC
VISUALLY THE ORIGINAL THICK FLEXI-VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. HOWEVER WHEN I JUST PLAYED IT I NOTED A NUMBER OF CLICKS EARLY ON AND AS THE RECORD PROGRESSES THE SOUND FADES AWAY UNTIL IT IS VERY QUIET INDEED.
THE LABEL
THE BLUE AND WHITE LABEL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A SMALL SCUFF WHICH HAS REMOVED A WORD OR TWO AROUND IT’S RIM.
ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE “ENVELOPE STYLE” MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORD AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.
I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY GRADED.
I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE PURCHASES BUT PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED BIDDING!! PAYMENT FOR COMBINED PURCHASES MUST BE MADE ON FINAL COMBINED INVOICE! PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS!
