[edit] Cover Art

It would be nice if the covers from each flexidisc could be added to the article, it would add some extra colour. --kingboyk 07:59, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I was pondering that, but wondered if it might be excessive. Danthemankhan 14:25, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so, if they're small thumbnails to the left of each single in the list - a la The Beatles discography or The KLF discography. --kingboyk 14:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Looks great! --kingboyk 18:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kenny Everett

Would it be possible to write a little about Kenny Everett's involvement in the Christmas records and indeed how he came to be involved in the first place? --kingboyk 15:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

My source unfortunately does not elaborate on that issue. I will try to find one that does. Danthemankhan 15:48, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV

"but come off as disturbing"? What is so hard to understand about NPOV?

What's so hard to understand about signing your comments?! :P --kingboyk 13:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Second Album Vs. Third

The text for the second record claims " Another Beatles' Christmas Record is the only Beatles' Christmas fan club records not sent to American fans." yet the text for the next record claims the american fans did not recieve it. I don't know which is correct. --dgasperut

Nor me. Good spot! Anyone know the answer? --kingboyk 21:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
