1969: The Beatles' Seventh Christmas Record

- Released: 19 December 1969
- Total time: 7:42
- Put together by Radio 1 disc-jockey (the late) Kenny Everett, credited under his real name, Maurice Cole.
The final Beatles Christmas offering was recorded separately, as the band was crumbling at this point. It features an extensive visit with John and Yoko at their Tittenhurst Park estate, where they play "what will Santa bring me?" games. Harrison only appears briefly, and Starr only shows up to plug his recent film, The Magic Christian. Paul sings his original ad-lib, "This is to Wish You a Merry, Merry Christmas."
