Description

This auction is for a Beatles Christmas album from 1970.  It is a compilation of the Christmas discs sent to Beatles Fan Club members from 1963 to 1969.  The cover is in good condition, with some minor ring wear visible on the bottom and sides, and some wear to the corners.  The vinyl is in excellent condition, and in the fourth photo I tried to capture the "Bell Sound" inscription next to the label to verify authenticity.  Shipping cost will be $5 - $12 depending upon where you live, because I package vintage LPs in USPS Priority Mail boxes to assure there is no damage during shipping.  Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Beatles' Christmas Album, was a 1970 compilation album of the Christmas records issued via the Beatles' Fan Club—and made available solely to members of their official fan clubs in the UK and the U.S.

History

Each year from 1963 to 1969, the Beatles had recorded a short Christmas message for their fans, composed of carols, skits, jokes, and thanks to the loyal "Beatle People". Each recording was pressed onto a 7" flexi disc and mailed free to the British members of the Fan Club. In 1970, in the wake of the band's break-up, Apple released the compilation of all seven.  The Beatles' Christmas Album was most likely sent to US fan club members in the spring of 1971.[8] Though it served to remind fan-club members that the Beatles were no more, it had the advantage of much better sound quality than the old flexi-discs, though both the UK and US copies of the album were mastered from copies of the original flexi-discs, not original tapes. it was the first time the 1964 and 1965 messages were available in America.[8] Not long after the album was issued, numerous counterfeits and bootlegs appeared on the market, which continue to circulate to this day.
