Subject: The Beatles Christmas Album
To All Fellow & Serious Beatles Fans & Music Lovers

This is the time of the year when we hear wonderful Christmas songs
and joyous festive songs throughout the season. Even the Beatles
themselves were always in a holiday mood each and every year, as they
always sent to every member of their fan club a free flexidisc, which
had a special Christmas message on it. They did this until 1969.

In 1970, they decided to compile all of those Christmas messages on
one album and released it to their fan club. Members of the fan club
could buy this album as this was the last thing that the Beatles did
for their fan club members prior to their breaking up. It was released
on Apple Records and it had all of their Christmas messages on one
album.

In the light of this rare and collectable release, the album has been
heavily bootlegged and also has been faked. Originally, according to
some sources, the legit copy of this album had Beatles pics galore on
the front cover on a blue background and was pressed on regular vinyl.
There have been bootlegs of the album and there have been fakes also
released. Most of these fakes have been pressed on colored vinyl such
as green or red with a perfect copy of the Apple label on it to make
it look legit.

I happen to have one of the fakes pressed on green vinyl. It is still
a wonderful record in itself, and despite it being a fake, I feel that
it still makes a nice conversation piece.

If anyone has gotten their copies of their Beatles Christmas album and
played them, wonderful. I actually played my copy and it sounds pretty
good even though the 1966 track's (a.k.a.Christmas Time is Here Again)
is a little faster tempoed than it was originally(I have the Beatles
Sessions album and the tempo of the song on this is just about right).
Still, it is a wonderful record and I look forward to playing it next
year around this time.

I hope that everyone in this group has a wonderful evening and a
wonderful Christmas time.

No shit Sherlock. Do you not think "serious Beatles Fans & Music Lovers"
would not know this, snorgee?

Do you think you have uncovered some secret that has been dormant for 40
years ball breath? You never get to the fucking point in your posts,
they always have some long, rambling load of tosh.

And you twirl the record on your tiny penis.

Oh please let us know when you plan on playing it so we can all rest
easy, snorgee.

You are a pagan, snorgee. That is why the Christians kicked you out of
all their groups.
