Description
The very FIRST Christmas record by the Beatles 1963: Genuine
The Beatles' Christmas Record Recorded: 17 October 1963 Location: Studio 2, EMI Studios, Abbey Road Producer: Tony Barrow Issued: 6 December 1963 Label: Lyntone, LYN 492 Flexi disc: 7", 1 side, 33.3 RPM Total time: 5:00 This genuine first Christmas recording from the Beatles features several renditions of the traditional carol "Good King Wenceslas" and individual messages from the Fab Four, ending with a closing chorus of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Ringo". This offering was scripted by Beatles' press officer Tony Barrow, who had instigated the Christmas message programme. An edited version of this recording was sent to members of the Beatles' American fan-club in December 1964. CONDITION: the front cover of the newsletter has become detached at the fold but is in otherwise remarkable condition for its age. Thankfully no attempt has been made to repair it (as many fans tried to do using sellotape!) The actual Flexidisc looks to be in good shape with no visible scratches. There's a tiny dent (approx 2mm) in the lead-in track but since this is on the very edge of the disc I doubt if it will interfere with playing.
