Free Music Review: The Beatles' Christmas Album is a classic!
Hit: 5 Stars

From 1963 to 1969, The Beatles were very busy creating a host of songs that forever changed the structure and landscape of the world of popular recorded music. Classic albums such as "A Hard Day's Night", "Help!", "Rubber Soul", Revolver", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Bnad", "Magical Mystery Tour", "The Beatles" and "Abbey Road" all helped to shape music in new sound dimensions. For the holidays toward the end of each year, The Beatles recorded a series of unique flexi-discs containing specially-created Christmas messages that were distributed only to members of their fan club. Each of these recordings reflect what was going on within the group at the time. The 1963 and 1964 messages had the boys reading from a prepared script by Tony barrow. Even with this dialogue, their charm still shines through. For 1965, they decided to improvise their own material, which has an out-of-tune rendition of "Yesterday" as part of the proceedings. The discs for 1966 and 1967 are a series of cleverly pantomimed sketches, with a different recurring theme song for each one. By the time the 1968 and 1969 discs were issued, it was clear that the boys were going in different directions, as they had messages from the guys recorded seperately. After The Beatles break up in 1970, the fan club issued a long-playing album containing all 7 Christsmas messages together. This was later issued on CD, with the best sound quality available. It is a special Beatles album, one that belongs in every fan's CD library. Everywhere it's Christmas, especially when you've got "The Beatles' Christmas Album" as part of your holiday festivities!
