Some great feedback on the latest episode of The Jacke Wilson Show is coming in. Many thanks to all my listeners! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it, and I hope to have another episode up soon. Until then, check out the Podcast page for the backlog.

Now for some true audio (and visual) pleasure. Christmas with the Beatles! We start with John and Yoko. You’ve heard this, of course. It’s everywhere. But if you’re in the mood, take a few minutes to watch the video, which has some excellent photos and truly warms the spirit:

Next up, Sir Paul, with another much-played song (but only one month a year, so let’s revel in it!). Here’s the 80s* synth-drenched version (with some killer haircuts for he and the other Wings):
