         AWESOME BEATLES CHRISTMAS ALBUM ON THE APPLE LABEL 1970

         ***********                             FAN CLUB ISSUE ONLY                   ***********

THIS IS THE FAN CLUB ONLY ISSUE ALBUM SENT OUT TO BEATLES FAN CLUB MEMBERS TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS 1970 ..

In 1967, Beatles Manager Brian Epstein died, and, concurrently, the newly formed Apple Records, which was owned individually by the Beatles, was floundering. After Brian's death, the Beatles approached well-known 'Promoter to the Stars' Pete Bennett and asked if he would take over as Promotional Manager for the group (he was then working with the Rolling Stones)
and the Apple label in the United States.

In early 1968, Pete promoted the phenomenal first Apple single, Hey Jude. All told, Pete promoted five albums for the Beatles, plus a number of re-releases. The albums were: Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, Let it Be, and finally the Limited Fan Club 1970 The Beatles Christmas Album.

He worked intimately with all the Beatles, and with their producer, George Martin. After the band's breakup, he became the Promotion Manager for all four of the Beatles individually. After the Beatles breakup, he promoted the last Beatles album, Let it Be, which was produced by Phil Spector.
.

Although the Beatles breakup became public in April 1970, the Official Beatles Fan Club continued with its activities. With the group no longer in existence, there was no chance of issuing a new annual Christmas disc message for the 1970 holiday season. Instead, members of the British and U.S. fan clubs received an exclusive long-playing album containing the Christmas messages
from the 1963 through 1969 flexi-discs.

For American Beatles fans who had faced their first yule tide season with the knowledge that the Beatles were no more, the Fan Club album was a bittersweet reminder of Christmases past

Record Collector's Grading System

Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover or any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played,  but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packing might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite notable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits,  discolouration etc.

                        I WOULD RATE THIS AS EXCELLENT ++
