1968 Christmas Record
August 10th, 2010
The 1968 Beatles’ Christmas flexi-disc is quite long – almost eight minutes – of separately recorded fun. That’s right, the Beatles weren’t together when they recorded this record. Paul’s “Happy Christmas, Happy New Year†and John’s poems (“Jock and Yono†and “Once Upon a Pool Tableâ€) are on this record, along with Tiny Tim!
Finally, this year, the US fan club members received a flexi-disc as well. But, the one pictured here is the U.K. version.
I love the colors on the front of this sleeve. It’s very pretty. If you look carefully at it, can you see what it resembles?
