Story & Background
"Yellow Submarine", despite being a The Beatles album, has always been perceived, even by the band itself, more as a soundtrack than a proper, complete recording effort. Its release in January 1969 was largely a contractual move, with the Fab Four already deeply immersed in the sessions for the "White Album" and then "Abbey Road".
In fact, the record offers only four unreleased tracks never before released on album – "Only a Northern Song", "All Together Now", "Hey Bulldog" and "It's All Too Much" – to which were added the title track and "All You Need Is Love", already released as singles. Side B was entirely occupied by George Martin's splendid but nonetheless instrumental orchestral soundtrack.
Its hybrid nature contributed to its controversial reputation among fans and critics, who often dismissed it as a minor work. However, its iconic cover and the presence of hidden gems like the energetic "Hey Bulldog" have nonetheless guaranteed it a special place in the discography. For the collector, even a 1976 reissue like this one, testifies to a unique and somewhat anomalous chapter in The Beatles' saga.
