As promised, here's a little bonus this year - with the kick-off of Beatlemania, and continuing on until the break-up, the Beatles released a Christmas record through their fan club each year on a flexidisc record - a flimsy record roughly the size of a 45. As you listen, you'll delight at the charm and humor of the Mop Tops, and things will get increasingly weirder as we hit the end of the decade. The production leaps ahead in 66 and 67 as the Beatles became studio wizards themselves. By 1968, the tension between bandmates was so high that for the '68 and '69 records, each contribution was captured separately and compiled at a later date. I guess that was it for Rudolph the Red Nosed Ringo. And yes, Yoko makes an appearance. So does Tiny Tim...01 Christmas 1963
