For seven straight holiday seasons, from 1963, during the beginning of their rise to fame, to 1969, just prior to the group’s breakup, The Beatles released a specially recorded Christmas greeting available exclusively for the members of their official fan club.
Produced on either 45 or 33 1/3 rpm flexi discs which played on regular turntables, the recordings lasted anywhere from five minutes to just under eight, and featured the Fab Four evidently acting with spontaneous zany singing and skits. And as each year evolved, the more off-the-wall they became.
