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.

YEAR. AND A HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
