BEATLES "FROM THEN TO YOU"
VERY RARE AND ORIGINAL UK APPLE FAN CLUB ONLY RELEASE.
EACH YEAR BETWEEN 1963 AND 1969 THE BEATLES ISSUED A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS FELXI DISC TO THEIR FANCLUB MEMBERS. FROM THE EARLY AMATEURISH THANK YOU'S TO THE FANS AND IN-JOKES THE BEATLES GRADUATED TO PANTOMIMES (1966), PEPPER STYLE EXPERIMENTATION (1967) AND SHEER MAYHEM (1968,1969).
HOWEVER BY CHRISTMAS 1970 TH EBEATLES HAS SPLIT SO THERE WAS NO QUESTION OF THEM ISSUING A NEW RECORD. INSTAEAD, AS ONE FINAL PARTING GESTURE TO THE OFFICIAL BEATLES FAN CLUD A HARD-VINYL ALBUM COMPRISING OF THE PREVIOUS SEVEN FLEXI'S WAS ISSUED TO FREE TO ALL REMAINING FAN CLUB MEMBERS. FAN CLUB MEMBERSHIP HAD DWINDLED DRAMATICALLY IN THE PREVIOUS TWO YEARS THEREFORE ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF THIS HARD-VINYL ALBUM WAS PRODUCED.
ALTHOUGH THE ALBUM CARRIES A LYNTONE CATALOGUE NUMBER (AS DID ALL THE PREVIOUS FLEXI'S) IT WAS ACTUALLY PRESSED BY EMI (HENCE THE APPLE LABEL)BEACAUSE LYNTONE WAS ALREADY FULLY BOOKED AT THAT TIME PRODUCING OTHER RECORDS FOR THE CHRISTMAS MARKET.

THE VERY DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. WHEN VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE APPEARS TO BE JUST VERY LIGHT AND MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND VERY VIVID.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS REALLY EXCELLENT WITH JUST VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS EVIDENT AND ONE FEELABLE MARK TO THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE TWO WHICH CAUSES A VERY LIGHT CLICK, AUDIO IS OTHERWISE SUPERB THROUGHOUT AND THIS MILD CLICK NO WAY DTERES FROM OVERALL LISTENING ENJOYMENT.. THE VINYL LIES FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND VISUALLY LOKKS VERY APPEALING.
THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS SUPERB GIVEN ITS AGE, IT HAS VERY LIGHT CREASES BUT REALLY NOTHING MORE THAN THAT. THE SLEEVE IS INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING E.T.C. THE SLEEVE IS VERY CLEAN AND OVERALL IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE.
"FROM THEN TO YOU", THIS FINAL OFFICIAL BEATLES ALBUM IS NOW VERY VERY SCARCE (SOME CONSIDER IT RARER AND HARDER TO FIND THAN THE "BLACK AND GOLD" MONO) AND VERY COLLECTABLE.
OBTAINING ALL THE BEATLES OFFICIAL CHRISTMAS RELEASES REMAINS ONE OF THE TOP PRIORITIES FOR COLLECTORS OLD AND NEW. THIS PARTICULAR RELEASES IS PROBABLY THE HARDEST TO OBTAIN, THEY SELDOM SURFACE FOR SALE IN ANY CONDITION AND MOST COLLECTORS WILL CONSIDER THIS A MUST HAVE AND ONE NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!!!
