If it gave way I'll stay here. Oh right around Tikrit is by Red Square right there showing both lies I think that you know Paula. Dave read you know my bad leg re a boat. Hello this is John speaking with his voice. Well very happy to be able to Tolkien like this on this little bit of plastic. This record reaches you at the end of a really good year for us and I told you to you let me made office right up our front towards the end of 1962. We hope everybody would live like they'd already been all type of music for several years already. But we had no idea of all the good things as well for us it all happened really. Then please beat me because I'm a number one hit and after that well caught up limeys he the No. Biggest of the year well I suppose it must have been talking the belle of the London Palladium and then only a couple days later being
invited to take part in the whole variety show. This time last year we're all dead because love media got into the top 20 and we can't believe read it so many things have happened between already. Just before I pass you over to Paul I'd like to say thank you to all the Beatle people who have written to me join the lever on who sent me gifts and cards for my birthday which I'm trying to forget in October. I'd love to reply personally to everyone but I just haven't enough plans in the meantime Gary Graham to you. Gary members to you Gary babe. Good Christmas Happy Birthday me too this is Paul you know I've been to John said goes for me too. Specially the bit about birthday cards and apostles because all loans and offices got stuck so my loss to know what it was my birthday. I mean we're all God pleased by the way you treat others and 1963 and we try to do everything we can to please you with the types of songs we like and you call next year. Oh yeah somebody asked those if we still like jelly babies. Well
we used to like them in fact we love them and we said so in one of the places you say Ellison's and getting them in boxes packets and crates. Anyway we've gone right off jelly lately as you say but we still like cuddling Crane's Chocolate Drops and don't even exist. And all of those things don't wash at all yet. Well lots of people asked us what we enjoyed best. Concerts and television already called it. We like doing stage shows because it's you know it's great to hear an audience enjoying themselves but the thing we like best I think show anyone who is going into the recording studio. We enjoy our life. Time to make new records which is what we've been doing all day before we start on this special message. Well what we like the most is one of our songs you know taking shape in a recording studio at one of the ones with John I've written and then listening to the tapes afterwards how it all worked out. Well I'm going on my time and people are telling me to stop. God knows I manage an hour that wishing everyone crimbo an American area and especially all the ones who pay the subscription. Yeah I got speared on Dangar shore and on dangerous point
here by any one either Sean Yeah that's weird mornings are showing. Oh ring oh yeah you know I was the last member to join the Beatles. I started to play drums in the group 1962 a couple of other groups. Well I just wish the people we're very happy to curse. Mary Happy New Year and folks happy Christmas to me. Me anything you wish. Then she went diva so deep and neither was I giving up by giving out we'll phone you. I'm told how it isn't.

And I just lied to say Bradley was the show on that night though the wind too cruel. When the game inside gather went to right and had it out it's high now you know flat out if I had a poll here. Oh well you know the red nose now you know. No I did it to everybody. Hello everybody. This is Paul I would just like to thank you all for vinyl records during the past

We hope you've enjoyed listening to the record as much as we've enjoyed melting. Now that's wrong. Making them we're number two studio at the moment EMI tape in this little message for you. 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 that many years ago it seems Ojos of the day.
