Brief Album Description:
The Beatles' Christmas records were spoken and musical messages from English rock group The Beatles that were posted out
on flexi disc at Christmas time to members of their official fan-clubs in the United Kingdom and the United States. One
such record was issued each year from 1963 to 1969 and an LP compilation of all seven in 1970. Conceived as a means to
appease fan-club members whose letters, due to their sheer volume, were not always being answered in a timely manner,
the records included the Beatles' messages of thanks to "loyal Beatle people", along with skits, Christmas carols, and
original compositions. None of the original recordings has ever been subject to general release, though a version of
"Christmas Time (Is Here Again)", an original composition which appeared in edited form on the 1967 record, eventually
gained an official release in 1995, as part of The Beatles Anthology project.
