[00:27.58](All): (Singing) Jingle bells...
[00:29.08](P): Hello, everybody, this is Paul,
[00:30.51]and I'd just like to thank you all for buying our records during the past year.
[00:35.66]We know you've been buying 'em because the sales have been very good, you see.
[00:38.88]Don't know where we'd be without you, really though.
[00:40.71]
[00:40.94](J): In the army, perhaps.
[00:41.99](P): Oh, we hope you've enjoyed listening to the records
[00:44.16]as much as we've enjoyed melting them -
[00:46.12]No, no, no, that's worng. - making them. We're in No. 2 studio at the moment,
[00:49.56]at EMI, taping this little message for you.
[00:53.12]
[00:53.46](J): Yes, we are.
[00:54.28](P): We are indeed. I just thought I'd make that...
[00:56.31]This is the same studio we've used all along -
[00:58.04]since the old days of "Love Me Do" - many years ago it seems, doesn't it?
[01:02.27]
[01:02.52](J): Ah, those were the days ...
[01:04.10](P): Well, that's about all, I think.
[01:05.75]Except, to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a very New Year!
[01:11.08]Now I'll pass you over to John. John!
[01:13.37]
[01:13.62](J): John. John speakin'.
[01:18.26]Thanks all of you who bought me book.
[01:19.76]Thank you folks for buying it. It was very handy.
[01:22.24]And there's another one out pretty soon, it says here.
[01:25.03]Hope you buy that, too.
[01:27.04]It'll be the usual rubbish but it won't cost much.
[01:30.66]You see, that's the bargain we're going to strike up.
[01:34.47]I write them in my spare time, it says here.
[01:37.66]It's been a busy year ...
[01:39.11]
[01:39.39](P): Did you write this yourself?
[01:40.55](J): No! It's somebody's bad handwriter.
[01:42.30]It's been a busy year Beatle peadles, one way and another.
[01:46.37]But it's been a great year, too.
[01:48.80]You fans have seen to that. Page 2.
[01:54.10]Thanks a lot folks and a hap-py, ah, Christmas
[01:57.97]and a merry goo-year. Crimble maybe.
[02:00.63]
[02:00.91]And I'll hand you to George who will speak to you - now!

[03:24.01](R): Ha ha! Or is that New Zealand?
[03:24.97](P): So much travelling! But you've stayed loyal, haven't you?
[03:30.85](R): Anyway, those airport receptions knocked us out, man, great!
[03:34.35](J): Dig!
