THE BEATLES CHISTMAS RECORD 7" FLEXI DISC VERY RARE 1963.
#1 SINCERE GOOD WISHES FOR CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR FROM THE BEATLES.

FORMAT: FORMAT: FLEXI DISC 7” IN GATEFOLD CARD PICTURE SLEEVE & PAPER LABEL, WHICH CONTAINS MESSAGES AND BRIEF SONGS WHICH WERE OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE IN STORES.
NOTE:
THESE SPECIAL RECORDS WERE NEVER AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN STORES.
AT THE END OF 1963, THE FAN CLUB WAS UNPREPARED FOR THE TONS OF EXTRA SUBSCRIPTIONS IT RECEIVED, SO IN ADDITION TO THE MULTIPLE THOUSANDS OF CHRISTMAS DISCS IT MAILED OUT IN DECEMBER, THEY ALSO MADE A COMPLETE EXTRA RUN OF THE FLEXI-DISKS WITHOUT THE SLEEVES (TO SAVE TIME), MAILING THEM OUT EARLY FEBRUARY 1964 WITH A LETTER OF APOLOGY AND AN EXPLANATION FROM THE CLUB. THE TOTAL OF 1963 CHRISTMAS DISCS MADE, BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT SLEEVES, WAS JUST OVER 30,000 COPIES.
THE FLEXI COMES IN A PLAIN YELLOW CARD SLEEVE THAT OPENS OUT WITH THE RECORD TUCKED INTO A STAPLED AREA. NO NEWSLETTER CAME WITH THIS FIRST EDITION. IT WAS PRINTED IN THE INNER SLEEVE.
THE BACK COVER HAS A PICTURE OF THE BEATLES AT THE FAN-CLUB HEADQUARTERS WITH BETTINA ROSE AND ANNE COLLINGHAM, WITH BELOW, A PICTURE OF THE FAB FOUR BEING PRESENTED TO THE QUEEN MOTHER AT THE ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE.
