Liverpool Philharmonic is auctioning off a limited-edition acetate of ‘Happy Xmas (War is Over!)’ by John Lennon, Yoko Ono, the Plastic Ono Band and The Harlem Community Choir. The auction will raise money for Liverpool Philharmonic’s flagship music education programme, In Harmony Liverpool.
The acetate is one of only 50 limited edition copies of the 2020 ‘Ultimate Mix’ version of the Christmas classic. Each disc was individually cut on the Abbey Road lathe by ‘Ultimate Mix’ mastering engineer Alex Wharton. In 2021, Yoko and Sean Ono Lennon gifted these extremely rare and collectable vinyl to 25 independent record shops and 25 handpicked music charities to help these organisations raise much-needed funding. In Harmony Liverpool was delighted to be gifted copy number 36. The vinyl includes an original letter signed by Sean Ono Lennon and a sticker on the record sleeve printed with Yoko Ono’s signature.
