From Me To You – The Beatles Christmas Records

From Me To You – The Beatles Christmas Records

Each year between 1963 and 1969 The Beatles gifted members of the official UK fan club, specially recorded Christmas messages. These exclusive recordings have not only become collectors’ items. They inadvertently trace the story of the group. From the lovable ‘Moptops’ who conquered the world. Through the psychedelic years of peace and love. To John, Paul, George and Ringo starting to drift apart.

In this episode we not only discuss the story of these fascinating recordings. We also look at how I discovered and first heard them. Along the way we touch on how EMI scheduled new Beatles releases to hit the lucrative Christmas market. Plus, the solo Christmas songs of John and Paul.

Christmas time is here again, and this episode is a Christmas gift from me to you.

If you’re a Beatles fan, or just love music we’d love to hear from you.
