"Yellow Submarine" is the tenth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, 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 the film's orchestral soundtrack by the band's producer, George Martin.
"The Beatles always prided themselves as entertainers, and the opening track came as a joyful holdover from 1966’s Revolver. As Paul McCartney drifted off to sleep one night, he had the image of a yellow submarine pop into his head. Once he brought the idea to John Lennon, they put together a lovely piece of absurdity about living underwater with a full cabin crew to talk to every day. Giving it to Ringo Starr to sing, the drummer brings a lovable charm to this whimsical story, almost serving as the shipmate in this tale of adventure.
The rest of the album is made up of odds and ends, but some of the best moments on the record come from George Harrison. Given the fact that Lennon and McCartney’s songwriting team had kept Harrison’s songs at bay, both ‘Only a Northern Song’ and ‘It’s All Too Much’ are the most inventive efforts that he had to date. These tracks punctuate the album with a sense of vitality and freshness." - Far Out
