Directly From Santa Claus Rare Unreleased Beatles Tracks

Post by Lord Reith »

The world's rarest Beatleg. A picture disc I bought in early 1986 with a lot of unbooted tracks at that time. I never saw a copy of this ever again, or even heard it mentioned or listed by anyone. Which is sad given that at the time it was a treasure trove of BBC goodies. It's still the only source for two tracks to this day (Side By Side and Long Tall Sally). The rest of the tracks appeared years later in better quality.

Now your collection is complete.

I reviewed this back in the very first issue of "Illegal Beatles" in the summer of 1986 - and, you're right, it's still a primary source. :)
Interestingly, my copy of the LP is slightly different than yours - it has the swimming pool picture on both sides.
