Beatles Christmas Records
Members of the Official Beatles Fan Club received exclusive Beatles Christmas records between 1963 and 1969. This was unique to The Beatles and the records could not be bought in any shops. The records mainly consisted of the band clowning around the studio creating Christmas songs and improvised seasonal wishes to their ever growing legion of fans.
'Another Beatles Christmas Record’, released 18 December 1964, was the second Beatles Christmas record. Fan club membership had swelled to 65,000 by this time after receiving thousands of new members towards the end of 1963. Shown opposite, accession number MLL.2005.41.27. ‘The Third Beatles Christmas Record’ was recorded after The Beatles finished work on their Rubber Soul album. It was released to fans on 17 December 1965. Shown in main image above, accession number MLL.2005.41.28. The records are on display in The Beat Goes On exhibition at World Museum Liverpool until 1 November 2009. In this section
