THE BEATLES: ‘SINCERE GOOD WISHES FOR CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR’ – AN ORIGINAL 1963 FIRST ISSUE, OFFICIAL UK BEATLES FAN CLUB 7" FLEXI DISC IN ITS ORIGINAL GATEFOLD SLEEVE – LYN 492.
IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, THE RAREST OF ALL BEATLES CHRISTMAS FAN CLUB FLEXI DISCS.
'Sincere Good Wishes for Christmas and The New Year', issued in December 1963, was the FIRST and is considered the RAREST of all the Official UK Beatles Fan club Christmas Flexi Discs. There were seven Beatles Christmas Fan Club Flexi Discs issued between 1963 and 1969, free of charge, to all official Beatles Fan Club Members. Initially only 25,000 of these 1963 Flexi Discs were pressed and were mailed out free of charge in December 1963 to all the current members of the UK Beatles Fan Club. Once fans were aware of the ‘Free’ disc from the Fan-Club, more and more people applied to join, and consequently the Fan Club were unprepared for all the extra subscriptions it received. Therefore, in addition to the first 25,000 Christmas flexis mailed out initially in, they also made an extra run of flexi-discs - this time WITHOUT the Gatefold sleeve to save time - which were mailed out in February 1964 with a letter of apology and an explanation from the Fan Club. Therefore, the total of 1963 Christmas flexis made, both with and without sleeves, was just over 30,000 copies.
