Iveys Christmas Record (We Wish You A Merry Christmas)
This is mostly a recording of The Iveys interviewing each other using different voices. It was intended for Tony Bramwell of Apple to give to someone in South Africa. It concludes with Christmas greetings and a short recording of a sped-up, Chipmunk-style version "We Wish You A Merry Christmas." This was recorded on December 6, 1968. The Collins estate sold this at an auction in 2013. An edited version of this recording is available on YouTube.

Saucy Blue Apple acetate
This is a stereo acetate cut in 1970 with Badfinger listed as the artist even though these are all Iveys tracks. All 5 of these songs were not included on the Magic Christian Music by Badfinger LP. "Saucy Blue" is "Sali Bloo" (aka "Sally Blue"). It's odd that "Yesterday Ain't Coming Back" is missing from this disc.
