DESCRIPTION “LIMITED EDITION” LP. MADE AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY TO FAN CLUB MEMBERS ONLY. ACQUIRED UN-OPENED, STILL TAPED & PACKAGED IN IT'S ORIGINAL "BEATLES FAN CLUB" CARDBOARD MAILER. 2 FACTORY SHRINK "BREATH HOLES" EVIDENT ON FRONT COVER. TIGHT SEAL CORNER TO CORNER. THIS EXAMPLE IS VIRTUALLY PERFECT CORNER TO CORNER. NO RINGWEAR. COLORS AND IMAGES ARE VIBRANT AND BRIGHT. ALTHOUGH THE BEATLES BREAKUP BECAME PUBLIC IN APRIL 1970, THE OFFICIAL BEATLES FAN CLUB CONTINUED WITH ITS ACTIVITIES. WITH THE GROUP NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE, THERE WAS NO CHANCE OF ISSUING A NEW ANNUAL CHRISTMAS DISC MESSAGE FOR THE 1970 HOLIDAY SEASON. INSTEAD, MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH AND U.S. FAN CLUBS RECEIVED AN EXCLUSIVE LONG-PLAYING ALBUM CONTAINING THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGES FROM THE 1963 THROUGH 1969 FLEXI-DISCS. FOR AMERICAN BEATLES FANS WHO HAD FACED THEIR FIRST YULE TIDE SEASON WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE BEATLES WERE NO MORE, THE FAN CLUB ALBUM WAS A BITTERSWEET REMINDER OF CHRISTMASES PAST. WE HAVE ACQUIRED THIS STUNNING EXAMPLE IN THE MANNER IT WENT TO ALL THOSE FAN CLUB MEMBERS - UN-OPENED, STILL TAPED & PACKAGED IN IT'S ORIGINAL "BEATLES FAN CLUB" CARDBOARD MAILER. (PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE REMOVED THE RECIPIENT'S NAME IN THE IMAGE). TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONDITION OF THE SEALED CHRISTMAS ALBUM WAS WORTHY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, (NOTE THE DESIGNATION OF *XA* ON THE MAILING LABEL, WHICH STANDS FOR "XMAS ALBUM") WE WERE THE VERY FIRST TO CAREFULLY OPEN THE MAILER (4/18/08), SINCE IT WAS SHIPPED ON JULY 21, 1971. LO AND BEHOLD, INDEED, A VIRTUALLY PERFECT GORGEOUS EXAMPLE WAS STILL INSIDE, AND ONE WILL BE HARD-PRESSED TO FIND ONE LIKE THIS. THE LP HASN'T SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY SINCE 1971! AND OF COURSE, THE RARE MAILER WILL BE INCLUDED.
