Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to… Christmas 50 years ago.

18th December, 1965. For the third year in a row the No.1 Christmas single on the UK Hit Parade would belong to The Beatles. The double 'A' sided "Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out".

The group had also released a new album and this too was top of the LP Chart. "Rubber Soul" contained one their best songs "In My Life". So that's today's slice of Christmas Past.

Notes: 

"In My Life", was voted 5th favourite Beatles track by Rolling Stone magazine in 2011.

The 'baroque' influenced instrumental section, is a piano recorded at half-speed then played back at normal speed to sound like a harpsichord.
