BACKGROUND.

 

The Beatles' Christmas records were spoken and musical messages that were posted out on flexi disc at  Christmas time to members of their official fan-clubs in the United Kingdom and the United States. One such record was issued each year from 1963–1969 and an LP compilation on vinyl of all seven in 1970.

Conceived as a means to appease fan-club members whose letters, due to their sheer volume, were not always being answered in a timely manner, the records included the Beatles' messages of thanks to "loyal Beatle people", along with skits, Christmas carols, and original compositions.

None of the original recordings has ever been subject to general release though a version of "Christmas time is here again” an original composition which appeared in edited form on the 1967 record, eventually gained an official release in 1995, as part of the Anthrology project

 

In December 1970, in the wake of the band's break-up, the UK fan-club sent out a compilation LP of all seven recordings, entitled From Then To You. The master tapes having been mislaid, the LP was mastered from copies of the original flexi discs.

With no new recording, the LP served to remind that the Beatles were no more, but had the advantage of durability over the original flexi discs, and, for the US, it was the first time the 1964 and 1965 messages had been made available.
