The Beatles' Seventh Christmas Record

The last/ final Beatles Christmas Record to be mailed out to the Fan Club was recorded in November and December of 1969. Unfortunately, the skits and messages were recorded individually by the members of the group with John and Yoko recording from Tittenhurst mansion and grounds, George recording from the Apple building at 3 Savile Row London, Ringo recording from his home in Surrey and Paul also recording from his home in St. John's Wood, London.
The individual tapes were given to radio personality and friend Kenny Everett who edited the recordings. In the 1969 liner notes, Kenny Everett goes under the name "Maurice Cole". John and Yoko feature heavily on this particular Christmas record and George Harrison barely features at all. The messages open with John and Yoko strolling in the garden with "The First Noel" playing in the background. Paul sings a bit of an ad-lib before hearing George wishing everyone a Happy Christmas. We get Ringo strumming an acoustic guitar and "singing" before it's edited to include the song "The End" (the guitar riffs) from their most recent LP "Abbey Road".
A bit of John and Yoko and then a bit of Paul singing his Christmas son on acoustic and vocal. We then get more of John and Yoko in the garden while having "Deck The Halls" playing in the background. This is edited into John playing mellotron in his studio while chatting about Christmas. This is interrupted by Ringo repeating "Merry Christmas" faster and faster and then slowing down to reveal he is now saying "Magic Christian" (in order to promote his latest film). We go back to John and Yoko and the mellotron for a while until the song "The First Noel" becomes prominent and there is finally laughing by Ringo and the end drum beat from "The Ballad of John And Yoko".
The cover is issued in a cardboard sleeve with an out of focus festive photo of a Christmas tree on the front credited to Ringo and a drawing on the back credited to Zak Starkey.  This was issued as a two sided flexi disc in the UK due to the length of the messages (over 7 and a half minutes long).
The Seventh Christmas Record can also be heard on the official Fan Club compilation "The Beatles Christmas Record" LP on Apple in the US and on "From Then To You" by Apple in the UK. You can also hear it on various bootlegs of the Christmas messages including the Vigotone LP and CD "The Ultimate Beatles Christmas Collection". It was re-issued on 45 vinyl in 2017 by Apple as "The Christmas Records" via a box set.
