THE BEATLES The Beatles' Christmas Record (Rare original 1963 UK
first official 7" Christmas flexi disc issued exclusively to fan club
members, housed in a unique gatefold pocket picture sleeve complete
with National Newsletter No. 2 printed on the inside. Obtained by its
one previous owner who was in her teens at the time, this particular
Beatles fan had a job to get the flexi disc in the first place. What we
also have here is a letter of apology from Anne Collingham & Bettina
Rose,explaining that the surge in fanclub membership exhausted the
original planned run of the flexi-disc, with a free 9" x 7" black & white
photo of The Fabs [circa '63] for her bad luck. This keen Beatles fan
eventually received the disc, so what we have here is the original flexi
complete with picture sleeve & apology letter in its period dated
envelope with photo enclosed. In addition, we have four extra black &
white promotional-only photos of The Fabs from the era as well as a
fold-out black & white photo of group portraits from Miravelle
[celebrating the Girl Of The Year 1964 contest!]. The envelope has the
original owner's address label attached & the front of the picture sleeve
for the flexi is neatly annotated with her name & address. The sleeve
remains in Excellent condition with just a few small spots of age
discolouring. The disc is flat & in Excellent condition & most likely never
played. The bonus photos, letter & mailer are also Excellent with just
minor signs of their age, making for a keen package overall & a
wonderful set LYN492).
