Description
Another Beatles Christmas Record by The Beatles Official UK Fan Club Only Christmas Flexi.
Issued: 18th December 1964 on Lyntone, LYN 757. Recorded: 26th October 1964 at Studio Two, EMI Studios, Abbey Road. Writer and Producer: Tony Barrow.
N.B. Does not include the National Newsletter No.4.
Details: The song ‘Jingle Bells’ is sung, followed by individual messages to the fans. John Lennon mocks the prepared statement, doing an imitation of Paul Harvey and includes his own pseudo-words and ad-libbing. When Paul McCartney asks him if he wrote this himself, he says, “No it’s somebody’s bad hand-wroter. It’s been a busy year Beople peadles, one way and another, but it’s been a great year too. You fans have seen to that. Page two… Thanks a lot folks and a happy-er Christmas and a Merry Grew Year. Crimble maybe.” Authored by Beatles Press Officer Tony Barrow, the script is apparently handwritten, as at various points in the recording, McCartney reads “making them” as “melting them” before correcting himself and George Harrison reads “quite a time” as “quiet time” before correcting himself with “great time” as well. Finishing up the record is a brief rendition of the traditional song ‘Oh Can You Wash Your Father’s Shirt?’
Condition: The Sleeve is in Very Good condition, with some very small spots of Foxing (see images). The Flexi Disc is in Good condition, with some surface marks, as is common (see image). The Label has the imprint “A. McGill and Margaret” written in blue pen (see image).
Please note, to afford extra protection, the Flexi Disc is housed in a separate poly-lined card sleeve (see image).
