I heard this in the 80s and actually had a copy. Never knew if it was officially released? Love it.

Funnies: 1. @1.29 Meanwhile, high in the swiss alps, two elderly scotsmen munch on a rare cheese... 2. @2:52 At the same time as this in the captain's mess onboard HMS Tremedous, a toast is being proposed. 3. @3:10 Podgy the Bear and Jasper. And 4. @ 5:07 "The Banjo Song"... Banjos banjos, all the time, I can't forget that tune... and if I ever see another banjo, I'm going out to buy a big balloon.
WTF???? Hahahahahaha, stoned much??!!! <XD

The Beatles took a totally different approach to their 1966 message. Mainly Paul McCartney's idea, the recording of this message had quite a few firsts for itself, it was to be Pantomime an idea opposed to the usual "happy and xmas goodwill" found on the previous 3 messages, This became the first xmas record to be double-sided, the sleeve cover was in color for the first time! At 6.41 featured a lot of laugh, this also can be heard on Love Album at the end of the last track All You Need Is Love

They were so stoned, and because they are the Beatles, we still listen to it to this day. That's amazing to think about.
