Page "Flexi disc" Paragraph 4

Every year between 1963 and 1969, The Beatles made a special Christmas recording which was made into a flexi disc and sent to members of their fan club.

While the earlier discs largely contained straightforward ' thank you ' messages to their fans, the later Christmas flexis were used as an outlet for the Beatles to explore more experimental areas ; the 1967 disc, for example, became a pastiche of a BBC Radio show and even included a specially recorded song entitled Christmas Time ( Is Here Again ).
