The Beatles third Christmas 7" flexi record distributed free to their fans through the fan club.
It was recorded 8th November 1965 on the same day as they recorded "Think For Yourself".
The cheeky Beatle humour was slightly strained, as this was recorded very late in the day.
It starts with a raucous version of "Yesterday", which follows with the band thanking the fans for presents throughout the
year. Ringo then describes the events of the year.
Some mad Scottish sounding tunes are run through, including "Auld Lang Syne", and then in heavy scouse accents, they
discuss what other songs they can do that are out of copyright.
The rest of the piece is very relaxed banter and mucking about.
