********************
Yellow Submarine is the eleventh album released
by The Beatles. It was the soundtrack to the
animated film of the same name.
In contrast to the richness of the movie, the
Yellow Submarine album is usually considered the
Beatles' most lacklustre effort, being a
soundtrack for the film rather than a studio
album in its own right.
By the time the album came out, much of it was
not new. "Yellow Submarine" had already appeared
on Revolver in August 1966. "All You Need Is
Love" had been a hit single in 1967 and had also
appeared on the US edition of Magical Mystery
Tour later that year. "Only A Northern Song" was
written originally for Sgt. Pepper. Most of it
was recorded in February 1967. "It's All Too
Much" was recorded just before Sgt. Pepper came
out, although it was shortened (from eight
minutes) for Yellow Submarine. "Hey Bulldog"
(recorded February 1968) and "All Together Now"
(May 1967) appear to have been written specially,
although Lennon was dismissive about the former,
which was recorded during filming of a
promotional clip for "Lady Madonna".
The second side features arrangements (recorded
specifically for the album) of George Martin's
orchestral score.
"Across the Universe" was originally slated for
the album, but was scrapped at the last moment
and was instead put on hold until Let It Be.
(According to some accounts, The Beatles
considered releasing Yellow Submarine as a five-
track EP, without the film score but
including "Across the Universe" as a bonus track.)
