Yellow
Submarine
The Album
The Yellow Submarine album has been re-released
in a format different from the soundtrack album that was

songs that featured in the movie are on one release - all
have been digitally remastered and remixed.

just six Beatles songs - the other half featured music
from the movie performed by the George Martin Orchestra.
The new album features:
Yellow Submarine, Hey Bulldog, Eleanor Rigby, Love You
To, All Together Now, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds,
Think For Yourself, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Band, With A Little Help From My Friends, Baby You're A
Rich Man, Only A Northern Song, All You Need Is Love,
When I'm 64, Nowhere Man, It's All Too Much.

The soundtrack has also been overhauled and remixed into

"Hey Bulldog".

undertook in transforming the Beatles into animated
characters. The development of Yellow Submarine's unique
creatures is revealed. Additionally, the featurette
demonstrates how Yellow Submarine set a new standard for
animated film-making.
* Audio Commentary Track
A feature-length commentary about the film's production
is provided by one of the film's animators and designers.
