Brief Album Description:
Yellow Submarine is the tenth studio album by English rock band the Beatles, released on 13 January 1969 in the United
States and on 17 January 1969 in the United Kingdom. It was issued as the soundtrack to the animated film of the same name,
which premiered in London in July 1968. The album contains six songs by the Beatles, including four new songs and the
previously released "Yellow Submarine" (1966) and "All You Need Is Love" (1967). The remainder of the album was a
re-recording of the film's orchestral soundtrack by the band's producer, George Martin. The project was regarded as a
contractual obligation by the Beatles, who were asked to supply four new songs for the film. Some songs were written and
recorded specifically for the soundtrack, while others were unreleased tracks from other projects. The album was issued
two months after the band's self-titled double LP (also known as the "White Album") and was therefore not viewed by the
band as a significant release. Yellow Submarine has since been afforded a mixed reception from music critics, some of
whom consider that it falls short of the high standard generally associated with the Beatles' work. It reached the
top 5 in the UK and the US, and has been reissued on compact disc several times.
