1963 U.K. Christmas Flexi-Disc
August 5th, 2010
In the 1960s the Beatles Fan Club in the United Kingdom issued yearly Christmas flexi-discs. These flexi-discs contained small holiday messages to the fans, from the Beatles, and would oftentimes contain music on them as well.
Pictured here is the 1963 U.K. Christmas flexi-disc. The flexi-disc looks like a one-sided 45 that is flexible and soft. The flexi-disc is stored within a sleeve that opens, which contains a newsletter on the inside of the sleeve.
These flexi-discs are absolutely wonderful! Especially in the beginning, the Beatles took the time to send a special message to their fans, which is a cool way for the fans to feel important.
