Tom Fiddling & the Heartbreakers - Christmas All Over Once more [Album Version]	Details
"[Tom Footling says,] 'Jimmy Iovine had been after me since I don't know when because he'd done 1 Very Special Christmas album already and I never came through for him. I didn't want to do somebody else's song. To me and Mike [Campbell] there'due south simply 1 Christmas album in the pop field and that'due south Phil Spector'south-- that was the merely 1 nosotros could relate to. That actually sounds like Christmas to me. And so we idea nosotros'd practise something similar that, eighteen guys, cut information technology all alive. The funny thing is I wrote the song on a ukelele. George Harrison had come past and given me a ukelele and spent a whole afternoon teaching me the chords. The ukelele is a really absurd instrument, even though information technology doesn't have that image. I took the ukelele with me to my firm in Florida in the middle of summertime and wrote this Christmas song. When I got dorsum we had a rehearsal with the Heartbreakers. I think Howie [Epstein] was out of town and then Scott Thurston was playing the bass. And so I told Jimmy what I wanted to do and he said, 'Wow, okay.' And then he booked all the musicians. There's a actually skillful film that's quite long of us doing that session and you lot'll see the whole thing, me taking five people aside at a time and pedagogy them their part and then going to the next 4 and teaching them. We had a harp and a harpsichord, Jim Keltner and Stan playing drums as well as percussionist, we had two bass players, four acoustic guitars, just crazy shit going on. Michael on the 12-string. Just similar we heard it could exist done. It was a lot of fun, but when I finished with information technology, it was pretty much a mess. I called Jeff Lynne and he came and helped me redo the lead vocal and tidy it up just a petty bit. I call up Jeff had a good idea for a stop at one betoken where we put in that long drum make full that really made it happen. And I've e'er been happy considering every Christmas I exercise hear it on the radio and I really like information technology.'" Bill Flanagan (1995 liner notes for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Playback) "Christmas '92 saw Jeff being involved in his first Christmas record when Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers recorded Christmas All Over The World for the A Very Special Christmas two Diverse Artists album, also released in the US every bit soundtrack to Domicile Alone two. [...] Jeff had co-produced, played bass, bells, timpani, sang background vocals and could be heard at the very end where he also wishes to get a Chuck Drupe songbook by saying 'I'd like i of them', when Tom lists all the items he wishes to become for Christmas." Patrik Guttenbacher, Marc Haines, & Alexander von Petersdorff (1996 Unexpected Messages) "My favorite Petty menstruation ist he late 80s when he teamed up with Jeff Lynne, and in a nod to their beau Wilbury, I did Christmas All Again with a George Harrison vibe. I've loved this song since I first heard it during Dwelling house Alone 2 as a kid." Robert Earl Thomas (December 18, 2022 - Vents online mag) "In 1992, Tom Footling was in the center of a prolific period that included the release of Full Moon Fever 3 years before and a four-year campaign with Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, George Harrison and Jeff Lynne in The Traveling Wilburys. So information technology�s no surprise that the influences of Lynne, the Electric Light Orchestra leader who as well produced Full Moon Fever, are all over [Christmas All Over Again] � from the driving drums and timpani fills to the horns and bridge, which dull-walks just long enough before the driving beat crashes in once again.It�s rock-and-curl Christmas at its all-time." Ben Cates (December 19, 2022 - The News & Advance) This is the fading end where Jeff's reponse is heard. At the end of the song, Tom Petty is citing a list of things he wants Santa to bring him for Christmas when a familiar voice pops upwardly. Tom says that he wants "a Chuck Berry songbook" when Jeff Lynne can be heard responding, "I'll have one of them."
