Happy Xmas (War is over)
John & Yoko & The Plastic Ono Band
+ Harlem Community Choir, Single US 1971)
First 1971 and 1972 USA releases were on green colored transparent vinyl.
Countries like the UK released the single in 1972 on black vinyl.
Around 1976 a non transparent green vinyl UK version was released.
The single has been re-issued several times.
With Happy Xmas (war is over) John Lennon intended to give the world an alternative for White Christmas by Bing Crosby.
Lennon's Xmas composition was, and still is, widely covered by known and unknown artists. My collection is far from complete, but it gives an impression.
