The Beatles 1964 Christmas Record, Remastered, with a more longer intro and ending than the normal uploadings and releases of this record.

Each year from 1963 to 1969, the Beatles had recorded a short Christmas message for their fans, composed of carols, skits, jokes, and thanks to the loyal "Beatle People". Each recording was pressed onto a 7" flexi disc and mailed free to the British members of the Fan Club. In 1970, in the wake of the band's break-up, Apple released the compilation of all seven.

ANOTHER BEATLES CHRISTMAS RECORD
Recorded: 26 October 1964--28 October 1964
Released: 18 December 1964
Total Time: 4:05

The song "Jingle Bell Rock" is sung, followed by individual messages to the fans. John mocks the prepared statement and includes his own pseudo-words and ad-libbing. When Paul asks him if he wrote this himself, he says, "No it's somebody bad hand-wroter. It's been a busy year Beatle peoples 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." (The statement is apparently handwritten as at various points in the recording, Paul reads "making them" as "melting them" before correcting himself and George reads "great time" as "quiet time" before correcting himself as well.) Finishing up the record is a brief rendition of the traditional song "Oh Can You Wash Your Father's Shirt?"
Another Beatles' Christmas Record was not sent to American fans. Rather, at Christmastime 1964, US fans received an edited version of The Beatles' Christmas Record, which was sent to British fan club members in 1963. Also, as opposed to using flexi-discs, the US fan club sent the message in a tri-fold cardboard mailer, with the "record" embedded in one of the flaps of cardboard.

  • lunatikha62, a mí me gustan todos, sí a ti te pareció el mejor para tí, que bien! ^^

  • John: John - John speaking, jaja este es su mejor record de navidad no? :)

  • therotiv4, en las sesiones de Please Please Me o With The Beatles, hay fotos y videos donde sale ese emblema. Creo lo cambiaron para finales de 1964.

  • hola amigo, buen video, te tengo una pregunta, en la imagen que pones, dice Beatles pero con otro tipo de letra, sabes cuando fue que lo cambiaron al que todos conocemos??? y cual es la primera foto/video con ese emblema en la bateria ringo?
