Christmas Time Is Here Again



Between 1963 and 1969, The Beatles released an annual Christmas single to members of their fan club. Each was a collection of sketches, song snippets and holiday greetings from the band. Although they've been widely circulated as bootlegs, none of the material was ever commercially released until 1995. As part of the Anthology project, producer George Martin put together the complete recording of the song from the 1967 Christmas single with holiday greetings recorded by John, Paul, George and Ringo in 1966. It was released on the Free As A Bird single, and since next Monday is Christmas, it will be the final monday morning b-side of 2006.
