Welcome to this year’s Christmas BROW. Most Beatles fans realize that 1963 was a big year for the Fab Four. They had already accomplished a string of #1 singles as well as a number one album early in the year and another one out by late November that also topped the charts in many European countries. The Beatles Fan Club was also in full swing in the UK. On December 6, 1963, British members of the fan club were sent a one sided flexi-disk with The Beatles wishing their fans a Merry Christmas, singing Christmas songs and thanking them for their support. The response was so good that the Christmas records became a tradition and a new one was recorded and sent to fan club members every year The Beatles were together (i.e. through 1969) and then in 1970 an album was created that recapped all of the previous Christmas records on one disk. Since they were only released to fan club members officially, they became quite rare after The Beatles separated. Here for your review is the first one The Beatles released in 1963. It was recorded on October 7th in Abbey Road studios for you historians. Merry Christmas everyone.
