New Beatles Christmas box set to feature band’s original festive messages to fans (Report)

A new, limited edition box set of The Beatles‘ ‘Christmas Records’ will be released next month.

The new collection is due to be released on December 15, and will feature the seven special holiday recordings that were originally mailed to members of the band’s fan club – known as “Beatle People” – from 1963 to 1969.

Each recording featured a “jolly Christmas message” that had been specially recorded by The Beatles for their fans, and all seven holiday messages have now been newly-pressed on a rainbow set of seven-inch vinyl singles for this new ‘Christmas Records’ box set.

Each vinyl single comes in its own original flexi-disc sleeve artwork, with the box set also containing a 16-page booklet which includes recording notes and reproductions of the fan club’s ‘National Newsletters’ which were mailed to members.
