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.
Side 1:
Salli Bloo (Ham)
This is an alternate
mix of the studio recording for the Maybe Tomorrow LP.

Apple 14 never made it out in the U.K. but managed to get released in
Germany, France, The Netherlands and Sweden.
Side 1:
No Escaping Your Love (Evans)
See-Saw Grandpa (Ham)
Thinkin' About The Good Times (Think About The Good Times) (Gibbins)
Saucy Blue (Sali Bloo) (Ham)
I've Been Waiting (Ham)
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.
Side 1:
Walk Out In The Rain (Ham)
This is an alternate mix of the studio recording for the Magic Christian
Music LP.
Side 1:
Walk Out In The Rain (Ham)
A different recording than the final studio version. This recording
features Pete Ham effectively sounding live. There are slight changes
in tempo that would be changed in the final version.
Side 1:
Give It A Try (Evans/Ham/Gibbins/Griffiths)
This is a different version to the final release and almost sounds
like it has been recorded live. There is some chatter between the band
before the intro.
Side 1:
Arthur (Evans)
Side 1:
Crimson Ship (Evans/Ham)
Side 1:
Midnight Sun (Ham)
Note: the majority of these acetates are identical or very similar to
the released versions on the album "Magic Christian Music", except
"Arthur" which was not released at the time.
