1966 Christmas Record
Today’s item on the block is the 1966 Beatles’ Fourth Christmas Record – Pantomime: Everywhere It’s Christmas.
The U.K. version of the 1966 Christmas flexi-disc was recorded on November 25, 1966 and released on December 16, 1966. Its runtime is almost seven minutes and it is comprised of a bunch of songs and skits, much to the delight of Beatles fans everywhere! “Podgy the Bear and Jasper†and “Felpin Mansions†are two of the skits performed. “Please Don’t Bring Your Banjo Back,†“Everywhere It’s Christmas,†and “Orowanya†are three songs performed.
Unfortunately the US fan club members only received a postcard – no flexi-disc. In my opinion, that’s what makes the holiday flexi-discs even more rare.
