Hey folks.

Anyone out there familiar with the Beatles album Happy Michaelmas? I got it on vinyl as a kid and still have it. Pretty trippy Christmas message stuff. Very Revolution #9.

Is it rare or have people heard of it?

Any input would be great...

I've never heard of the album. It sounds awesome though.

That's a new one on me, too.

Well obviously a bootleg of the official Christmas album that came out in 1970 for members only of The Beatles' fan club. Each year from 1963 until 1969, The Beatles put together a 5 minute or so Christmas greeting to their fans. These went from being funny to rather bizarre. The album in '70 was a compilation of all of them.

Thanks JSD! Do you know if it is considered rare?

JSD:Good info! But why do you say "obviously a bootleg"? Couldn't it be the real album?
eris: I'm not going too far out on a limb in suggesting that it most likely is rare. What with most of us never having heard of it and all.
