![]() ![]() Two of these – ‘Only A Northern Song’ and ‘It’s All Too Much’ – were by George Harrison. The Beatles supplied four new songs for the film. ![]() The Beatles additionally agreed to film a short sequence for the film’s end, and oversaw its creation. However, they were under contract by United Artists to make another film, and by way of compromise an animation featuring the voices of actors and the music of The Beatles was decided upon. They had recently completed Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and were more focused on the television special Magical Mystery Tour and its soundtrack. #YELLOW SUBMARINE FULL#The film project had begun in 1967, at a time when The Beatles had little enthusiasm for making a full length film. It was released in early 1969, just weeks after the White Album. The soundtrack for Yellow Submarine, The Beatles’ fourth film, was the band’s tenth UK album. ‘Yellow Submarine’ ‘Only A Northern Song’ ‘All Together Now’ ‘Hey Bulldog’ ‘It’s All Too Much’ ‘All You Need Is Love’ ‘Pepperland’ ‘Sea Of Time’ ‘Sea Of Holes’ ‘Sea Of Monsters’ ‘March Of The Meanies’ ‘Pepperland Laid Waste’ ‘Yellow Submarine In Pepperland’ John Lennon: vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, ukulele, harpsichord, banjo, harmonica, glockenspiel, handclaps, effects Paul McCartney: vocals, bass guitar, double bass, acoustic guitar, piano, trumpet, tambourine, handclaps, effects George Harrison: vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, violin, organ, tambourine, handclaps, effects Ringo Starr: vocals, drums, finger cymbals, tambourine, handclaps, effects George Martin: piano, backing vocals David Mason and three others: trumpets Paul Harvey: bass clarinet Sidney Sax, Patrick Halling, Eric Bowie, John Ronayne: violin Lionel Ross, Jack Holmes: cello Rex Morris, Don Honeywill: tenor saxophone Stanley Woods, David Mason: trumpet Evan Watkins, Harry Spain: trombone Jack Emblow: accordion Mal Evans: backing vocals, bass drum Neil Aspinall, Geoff Emerick, Pattie Harrison, Brian Jones, Marianne Faithfull, Alf Bicknell, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Marianne Faithfull, Jane Asher, Mike McCartney, Pattie Harrison, Eric Clapton, Graham Nash, Keith Moon, Hunter Davies, Gary Leeds and more: backing vocals Mike Vickers: conductor Uncredited orchestral musicians Tracklisting Released: 13 January 1969 (US), 17 January 1969 (UK) Personnel If you are a fan of The Beatles, great animation, or music video, this film is for you.Recorded: 26 May, 1 June 1966 13, 14 February 20 April 1967 12, 25, 2, 14, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26 June 1967 11 February 1968 22, 23 October 1968 Producers: George Martin, Paul McCartney, Ron Richards, John Burgess Engineers: Geoff Emerick, Dave Siddle, Eddie Kramer "Eleanor Rigby" uses black and white still photos of what is apparently Liverpool rotoscoped with occasional splashes of color to illustrate the dreariness of the lives of "all the lonely people." The full-color rotoscoped images for "Lucy", such as the can-can dancing chorus line and the horse running in the field, are beautiful. The two best segments in the movie, in my opinion, are "Eleanor Rigby" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Even "All Together Now", for which The Beatles themselves actually appear on screen, contains little camera tricks and quick cut edits that are common tools of more recent music videos. "When I'm Sixty Four" is illustrated by a "Sesame Street" style numerical countdown. "Nowhere Man" is a whimsical, trippy, rainbow colored cartoon. You have "Only a Northern Song" which is presented with Andy Warhol style pop-art images. If you grew up with MTV and you think that most music videos consist of 80's Hair-Metal bands "in concert" or rappers in hot tubs with women in bikinis, take a look at some of the musical numbers in "Yellow Submarine". The Beatles (the White Album) is the delicacy and Yellow Submarine - the sweet and delectable parfait, its complimentary counterpart. #YELLOW SUBMARINE MOVIE#Includes Instrumental Movie Score tracks: Pepperland / Sea Of Time / Sea Of Holes. #YELLOW SUBMARINE SERIES#"Yellow Submarine" works best as a series of loosely connected music videos that pre-date MTV by 12 years. Originally released in the UK, January 17, 1969. "Yellow Submarine" is a great film but it's not because of the plot or even the whimsical, non-sequitur filled dialogue. ![]()
