John Lennon was a highly influential musician, singer, and songwriter who rose to fame as one of the founding members of the legendary band [The Beatles]. Born in Liverpool, England in 1940, Lennon's passion for music started at a young age. With his distinct vocals and innovative songwriting skills, he played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of popular music. Lennon's solo career after The Beatles disbanded showcased his versatility as an artist and his commitment to promoting peace and love through his music. His untimely death in 1980 left a lasting impact on the world, but his legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians.

We have kindly been given one of only 50 Limited Edition acetates hand-cut at Abbey Road Studios, of the 2020 Ultimate Mix of Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir.

First released fifty years ago in December 1971, we’re excited to give you the chance to be the lucky owner of this extremely rare and highly collectible release, the full proceeds of which we will be donating to Shelter to help support the amazing work they do to end homelessness in the UK.

Simple! Purchase a £10 raffle ticket by pre-ordering right here on this page before midnight on December 31st 2021 to be entered into the draw to win the acetate. Please note that upon pre-ordering you are purchasing a raffle ticket for a chance to win and not reserving a copy of the record itself.
