Comments:
(from the release notes) Pitch, phase and level corrected at Remasters Workshop 18th March 2011
This is allegedly a from a transcription of the original tape from the Lennon archives that once featured Paul's Christmas Album in it's entirety.
Sadly, Paul's gift of a Christmas record that John had taped was taped over and almost obliterated by inane ramblings and so called sketches.
We also get to hear some recordings that would later appear on Rubber Soul that December.
Why John felt the need to record only parts of these recordings is not known, but at least we hear some rarities between which there are other fragments of late 1965 recordings.
Note that Paul's Christmas album has been digitally reassembled and is presented here: McCartney Christmas Album
