COMMENTS
|
U.S. fans received an edited
version of The Beatles' Christmas Record , which was sent to British
fan club members in 1963. Also, as opposed to using
flexi-discs, the U.S. fan club sent the message in a tri-fold
cardboard mailer, with the "record" embedded in one of the flaps of
cardboard. When opened, the top panel of the record side of the
folder has a cropped version of the picture appearing on the back of
the British
newsletter. The Record-Folder was manufactured by Allied
Creative Service, Inc., New York. The U.S. record plays at 33 1/3 r.p.m. The Christmas message was recorded on 17th. October 1963, at the session "I Want To Hold Your Hand / Thisa Boy". With George Martin in control, The Beatles sang and talked their way through press agent Tony Barrow's script. |
