Why doesnt Apple release the Beatles' Christmas Album?
-
Compilation was given to fans in 1970. You would think Apple would "cash-in" & finally release this on CD!

I was a member of their fan club in the '60s (until it disbanded in 1970 when the B's broke up) and got a (vinyl) copy of it which I still have. In all my moves (6) I've only lost one item, a big red, white & black button that said "I Love The Beatles." Since then I found a smaller copy of it.

Wasn't aware of this.

Checking out the album online. Much more psychedelic and meandering than what I was expecting:

My guess is that they culled Christmas Time Is Here Again for the Beatles Anthology (on the Free As A Bird CD single) as the only thing worth releasing, and left the rest alone as "uncommercial." As in it would not sell. There's no interest in this except for "die-hard" collectors. I got a copy of this on Apple vinyl in the 70's. The best thing about it is the cover.
