-"ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WERE TWO BALLOONS CALLED
JOCK AND YONO. THEY WERE STRICTLY IN LOVE, BOUND TO HAPPEN
IN A MILLION YEARS. THEY WERE TOGETHER MAN. UNFORTUNATE
TIMETABLE, THEY SEEMED TO HAVE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WHICH
KEPT CALLING THEM ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.
BUT THEY BATTLED ON AGAINST OVERWHELMING ODDITIES,
INCLUDING SOME OF THEIR BEAST FRIENDS. BEING IN LOVE,
THEY CLUNG TOGETHER EVEN MORE MAN. BUT SOME OF THE
POISONOUS MONSTERS OUTDATED BOSS - LORDY APE CLAWS DID
STICK SLIGHTLY, AND THEY OCCASIONALLY HAD TO RESORT TO
THE DRY CLEANERS. LUCKILY, THIS DID NOT KILL THEM AND
THEY WERENT BANNED FORM THE OLYMPIC GAMES. THEY LIVED
HOPEFULLY EVER AFTER AND WHO COULD BLAME THEM ?"

-"WELL, HERE WE ARE AGAIN, ANOTHER FAB CHRISTMAS. CHRISTMAS

[googoogajoob258]

These are great thanks for posting them! But is there anymore that you haven't posted?

[DrWinstonBoogie]

@googoogajoob258 I have also a Christmas outtake from 1964.

[scilscil]

@DrWinstonBoogie you should post it

[DrWinstonBoogie]

@scilscil I already did it last week :)

[Ewesgirl]

Thanks for posting this. I had the last two of these when I was in the fan club as a child. I wish I'd kept all that stuff, but got rid of so much stuff over the years.

[DrWinstonBoogie]

@Ewesgirl Thanks for your comment. I do enjoy listening to those Christmas Special at every year during Christmas time. For me it's like an holiday tradition since 2001 when I heard them for the first time.

[caesarcerf]

by far the best thing on this xmas fan club only record, is lennon whose pastiche of the criticism he and yoko (jock and yono!) is quite frankly, true comedic genius. it starts at 1:53 and is unbelievably clever.

[booziesuzie]

I love the John part of this. Pure class :D

[hotgirlsarehot]

Anyone else stare at the cover art, and see a short haired woman with a widow's peak with blue eyes, red lips, blowing ice breath?

[Griwhoolda]

@jacksterner This is definitely Tim.

[Griwhoolda]

I love Ringo's speaking voice!

[MichalFokt]

@CroxleyEducator Their last christmas record made together was in 1967, the next two were, as you say, montages. In the 1969 George was cut to only one sentence...

[huntergruntetr123]

@glimmer2158 his voice is still the hottest out of the 4

[glimmer2158]

2:49 George sounds like he's really stoned.LOL

[WazziBerry]

I like the tiny tim part. :)

[CroxleyEducator]

This was the last one to have any 'Beatle unity' , even if in truth they were fast growing apart (this brilliant montage by Kenny Everitt helped to disguise the fact). They were no longer in the same room to record it, but the illusion was maintained.....for now.

[The8347135]

0:31 I've Got a Feeling?

[1982pencil]

@thebeatles4ever3 I agree, though the '66 christmas record is pretty amusing. In this one, George is basically like "honestly, I don't give a f**k."
