VINYL TITLE — ARTIST (YEAR) • CATALOG Artist: The Beatles Title: The Beatles' Christmas Album Year: 1970 Catalog Number: SBC 100 Label: Apple Records Country: US Edition: First Pressing (Official Fan Club Release) 💿 DESCRIPTION This is the authentic 1970 US compilation of The Beatles' annual Christmas messages, originally recorded for their Fan Club members between 1963 and 1969. The record features the classic Apple labels with the Not For Sale designation, as this album was never available in retail stores. This specific copy was mastered at Bell Sound Studios, as evidenced by the Bell Sound stamp and the sf initials of mastering engineer Sam Feldman in the deadwax. The pressing also features a small etched triangle symbol, indicating it was manufactured at the Capitol Records pressing plant in Winchester, Virginia. 💎 CONDITION vinyl: excellent minus (EX-) cover: near mint minus (NM-) 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS This album is a cornerstone for any serious Beatles collection. Unlike their standard studio LPs, this was a limited mail-order-only release sent exclusively to members of the Official Beatles Fan Club in December 1970. It serves as the only official way to own all seven Christmas flexi-disc recordings on a single high-quality long-playing record. Authenticity is key with this title, as many counterfeits exist; however, this copy is a guaranteed original, identifiable by the crisp typography on the Not For Sale text and the genuine Bell Sound / sf hand-etched matrix marks. The unique cover design, credited to Grok It!, features a collage of 25 rare photos of the band members on the reverse. 🔍 MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Side 1 Matrix: SBC 100 A !
