JINGLE BELLS...

HELLO, EVERYBODY, THIS IS PAUL, AND I'D JUST LIKE TO
THANK YOU ALL FOR BUYING OUR
RECORDS DURING THE PAST YEAR. WE KNOW YOU'VE BEEN
BUYING 'EM BECAUSE THE
SALES HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD, YOU SEE. DON'T KNOW WHERE
WE'D BE WITHOUT YOU,
REALLY THOUGH.. (in the army, perhaps.) OH, WE HOPE
YOU'VE ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE
RECORDS AS MUCH AS WE'VE ENJOYED MELTING THEM - NO, NO,
NO, THAT'S WRONG. -
MAKING THEM.
WE'RE IN NO. 2 STUDIO AT THE MOMENT, AT THE EMI, TAPING
THIS LITTLE MESSAGE FOR
YOU. ( yes, we are.) WE ARE INDEED. I JUST THOUGHT I'D
MAKE THAT ... THIS IS THE SAME
STUDIO WE'VE USED ALL ALONG - SINCE THE OLD DAYS OF
'LOVE ME DO.' - MANY YEARS
AGO IT SEEMS, DOESN'T IT? (ah, those were the days ...)
WELL, THAT'S ABOUT ALL, I THINK. EXCEPT, TO WISH YOU
ALL A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A
VERY NEW YEAR. NOW I'LL PASS YOU OVER TO JOHN. JOHN!

JOHN, JOHN SPEAKIN'.
THANKS ALL OF YOU BOUGHT ME BOOK. THANK YOU FOLKS FOR
BUYING IT. IT WAS VERY
HANDY. AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE OUT PRETTY SOON, IT SAYS
HERE. HOPE YOU BUY
THAT, TOO. IT'LL BE THE USUAL RUBBISH BUT IT WON'T COST
MUCH. YOU SEE, THAT'S THE
BARGAIN WE'RE GOING TO STRIKE UP.
I WRITE THEM IN MY SPARE TIME. IT SAYS HERE.
IT'S BEEN A BUSY YEAR .... (did you write this
yourself?) NO! IT'S SOMEBODY'S BAD HANDWROTER.
IT'S BEEN A BUSY YEAR BEATLE PEADLES, ONE WAY AND
ANOTHER. BUT IT'S BEEN A GREAT
YEAR, TOO. YOU FANS HAVE SEEN TO THAT.

THE FILM. 'SPECT A LOT OF
YOU SAW IT MORE THAN ONCE. (I did.) DID YOU? SO DID I.
THANKS ANYWAY. 'CAUSE IT
MAKES US VERY PLEASED, YOU KNOW. WE HAD A QUIET TIME
MAKING IT. ACTUALLY, WE
DIDN'T. WE HAD A GREAT TIME MAKING IT. AND WE'RE GLAD
IT TURNED OUT OKAY.
THE NEXT ONE SHOULD BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. WE START
SHOOTING IT IN
FEBRUARY. THIS TIME IT'S A-GONNA BE IN COLOUR. (Green!)
IT'LL BE A BIG LAUGH WE
HOPE. (ha ha ha!) BIG LAUGH, HA HA HA, YEAH, IT'LL BE A
BIG LAUGH. (Be a big laugh, you
imagine?)
AND WE MAY SEE ALL OF YOU SOON. HOPE SO ANYWAY. ALL THE
BEST AND HAPPY NEW
YEAR. AND A HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

WELL, BEATLE PEOPLE, WE'VE BEEN TO AUSTRALIA AND
AMERICA AND NEW...
