The Beatles
Third Christmas Record
December 1965
The Beatles Third Christmas Record was recorded on November 8, 1965, the same day as they recorded "Think For Yourself", for the Rubber Soul LP, at Abbey Road Studio 2. The cover photo was taken on November 1, during the taping of Granada-TV’s The Music of Lennon and McCartney. The cheeky Beatle humor was slightly strained, as this was recorded very late in the day.
It starts with a raucous, off-key, a cappella version of "Yesterday", which is followed with the band thanking the fans for presents received throughout the year. Ringo then describes the events of the year. Also included are John’s “Happy Christmas to Ya List’nas”, some mad Scottish sounding tunes are run through, including “Auld Lang Syne” and a one-and-a-half-line version of the Four Tops "It's the Same Old Song", which they quickly stop before they violate the copyright, and an original poem titled Christmas Comes But Once a Year.
This auction is for the Beatles’ 1965 Christmas record, The Beatles Third Christmas Record. The flexi is in Very Good condition, while the label is Very Good+. The cover is in Very Good++ condition, with no writing or seam splits, and just some yellowing around the edges.
