Story & Background
This 1969 copy is the first pressing of an album often perceived as an anomaly in The Beatles' discography. The band, in fact, had already exhausted their creative energy for the film "Yellow Submarine", having recorded only two new songs ("All Together Now" and "Hey Bulldog") specifically for the soundtrack, accompanied by previously discarded or already released tracks ("Only A Northern Song", "It's All Too Much", and the title track itself). With the "White Album" sessions already in full swing, the band had little interest in dedicating themselves further to this project. The LP's release, a full six months after the film's debut, was essentially a contractual obligation imposed by United Artists, filling one side with George Martin's orchestral tracks to balance the scarcity of new material. For many collectors, its hybrid nature and the band's clear lack of enthusiasm make it a unique and historic piece.
