The Beatles Christmas Song You've Probably Never Heard

You might have thought the song "Now & Then," which was released in November and is supposed to be the last Beatles original ever, would be the final "new" Fab Four tune you'd ever hear.

Apparently not. 

This one was actually recorded back in 1967 as part of their annual Xmas fan club greeting. But I have to confess I'd never heard of it before. And frankly, it's not very good. But it is The Beatles and that makes it, if nothing else, a curiosity. There are greetings from all four members at the end of the tune, which you can hear below.

This got frequent Christmas time spins on Q107 during the Classic Rock era.

The piano reminds me of Badfinger's "Come And Get It", which I'm sure somebody will point out was written by Paul McCartney (and where it charted on CKOC).
