Description
FOR SALE IS A SERIOUSLY RARE GENUINE BEATLE SINGLE
The Beatles Sixth Christmas Record, Happy Christmas (1968)
FLEXI
Recorded in November 1968 at the lush London homes of Beatle John and Beatle Paul and in the back of Beatle Ringo's diesel-powered removal van, somewhere in Surrey, The voice of Beatle George is heard because yours faithfully, the G.P.O., did something right and joined up 6,000 miles of telephone links at an appropriate moment.
The 1968 and 1969 Christmas recordings are unique because, unlike the others, each flexi disk is double-sided; and while all of the 1963 through 1967 flexi's had paper record labels, the 1968 and 1969 disks had the information printed right on the black flexi disk with white ink.
Both recordings consist of separately taped pieces by each of the Beatles, and on the 1968 disk George introduced Tiny Tim singing a bizarre little version of Nowhere Man.
A collage of sounds and Fab greetings, including "Happy Christmas, Happy New Year," Johns poem "Jock & Yono" and "Once Upon a Pool Table." Guest-appearing artist Tiny Tim destroys "Nowhere Man".
CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
An outstanding completely unblemished & unworn set with just a small handful of extremely faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both playing surfaces of this immaculate and cherished copy retain all of their deep-gloss shine and appear 'as new' in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals a few harmless wispy paper hairlines but no other marks or wear. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping. .
Play: NEAR MINT
From visual inspection alone it can be safely assumed that this wonderful example has received just a handful of careful plays and has been carefully & correctly stored.
