The Beatles are Going to Re-Release All Those Christmas Singles from the 1960s

November 3, 2017 Alan Cross 0 Comments 0 min read

While the Beatles were together, they established a tradition of releasing singles to their fan clubs every Christmas. Messages were recorded and pressed onto flex-discs and then mailed to what the band called “Beatles People” every year between 1963 and 1969.

While there are plenty of bootlegs floating around, those Christmas singles have never been officially released to the general public. That is being fixed this year with all seven coming out worldwide on December 15.
