That's impressive, rubber soul! I wonder how often you can play a thing like that? Comedy, spoken word and music is an odd combination to listen to.

Thanks for sharing such an oddity! The youtube was blocked, but the other link was perfect.
I thought the hook line "Christmas time is here again" was pretty good, and I found the whole thing very interesting. I like the way it blends JL's love of The Goons with a laugh at a vanishing Brit culture, á la Magical Mystery Tour.

There were actually seven Beatles Christmas records that were long singles.
Maybe they've been compiled into a single CD - don't know -
but it wouldn't surprise me because of their 44 minute total length.

^ Yep, that's what I imagine rubber soul is talking about

Yes, the Beatles' Fan Club released the seven singles as an album in 1970. This was after the Beatles had broken up of course.

Again, I'm sure I have a boot. The original is worth a fortune.

Hope you all had a good one! We had a typically Southern hemisphere Christmas, Christmas Day at the beach and Boxing Day at the skatepark.
