Meet The Beatles Group Monthly Meeting

This month's meeting will focus on the Yellow Submarine album and movie.

Yellow Submarine is the tenth album released in January 1969. It is 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" and "All You Need Is Love". The remainder of the album is a re-recording of selections from 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 were written and recorded specifically for the soundtrack, while others were unreleased tracks from other projects. The album was recorded before – and issued two months after White Album and was not viewed by the band as a significant release. An EP containing only the new songs had been considered, and was mastered, but left unreleased.
