The most dashed-off of the Beatles' records, Yellow Submarine doesn't have much to it: the goofy title track and "All You Need Is Love" are reprised from earlier discs, George Martin's trifle of a score to the animated Submarine feature takes up the second half, and that leaves just four relatively insubstantial new tracks. The Beatles' throwaways are anyone else's classics, though: "Hey Bulldog," the last song Lennon and McCartney wrote in full collaboration, has the instinctive urgency of their best work, Paul's singalong "All Together Now" is awfully cute, and more than one band has dedicated its career to trying to replicate what George's guitars are doing on his dazed, pulsing "It's All Too Much." --Douglas Wolk

 Just a soundtrack... to the greatest cartoon ever! December 20, 2005

Makes me laugh when I read bad reviews about any Beatles album.
Although the original Soundtrack to "Yellow Submarine" may not rank at the top of my fave Beatles albums list, it is more representative of the original movie than the more recent re-release that came out with the DVD release.
True, the title track and "All You Need Is Love" WERE previously available on other albums. But the four new tracks were fantastic additions to The Beatles' catalog.... with the exception of MAYBE Paul's silly "Altogether Now". But, as the official review stated, "Beatles throw-aways are any other band's greatest hits!" (paraphrased).
George gets to shine on the Yellow Sub soundtrack. "Only A Northern Song" has a similar melody line and structure as his song from two years prior, "If I Needed Someone", but with a much more psychadelic flavor. "It's All Too Much" is one of Harrison's best tracks ever - with The Beatles or solo. On this track, you can detect the influence his buddy Eric Clapton was having on him by 1968.
John's "Hey, Bulldog" is another one of those Lennon masterpieces that somehow got over-looked, much like "Across The Universe" has always been. It contains one of the most recognizable and iconic guitar/piano/bass licks ever recorded. It also features some of Paul McCartney's best bass work.
"Altogether Now" is a fun song. Not the best Beatles track, but one that is such a part of the whole "Yellow Sub" vibe that it's shortfalls are more than forgiven. As a some-time songwriter myself, I'd have been proud to be able to say that I wrote it!
The instrumentals are just that - instrumentals used as background music for the movie. They are classic George Martin and, just as he worked so well with The Beatles, they work well along side The Beatles' songs.
No Beatles record collection is complete without "Yellow Submarine".
Yellow Submarine...Revisited & Remastered September 11, 2009

As to avoid any confusion, this review is specifically for the remastered version of "Yellow Submarine" since many past reviews are appearing here.
I began my quest to obtain all of the Beatles' remastered CD's with this one per my son's request; he loves the movie as well the music, so this one was an obvious choice for him!
With all of the hype surrounding the release of the remasters, I went into it with a lot of expectations, & after hearing the opening of the title track, my wife & I were believers immediately; our collective "WOW!" reaction was all it took!
The difference between this & the original 1990 CD issue is literally like night & day; the sound is greatly improved & the clarity is incredible. Of course, the technology to achieve this was not there in 1990, so for what it was, it was good; but this is astounding!
If the band tracks are not enough to convince you, listen to George Martin's orchestral score beginning with "Pepperland"; in short, it will take your breath away! Lush strings, horns & percussion all come to the forefront like never before; the sound is so beautiful & crystal clear that you feel as if you're there in the studio with them.
Do not hesitate to buy all of the remasters...I certainly won't!

This album, released in 1969, may have the least original material. However, it is a good buy.
Two songs are rereleases, the two being All You Need Is Love, and the title track. Seven tracks are instrumentals from the film, by George Martin.
The four orignal Beatles tracks alone, however, are splendid.
The First is Only A Northern Song. Penned by Harrison, it was intened for Sgt. Pepper.
The Second is All Togther Now. A cheesy song by Paul, it is sung to the beat of a jump rope tune. It was used in a verizon commercial.
Hey Bulldog is third. THis track was the last REAL lennon/mccartney song. It is a good rocker, with John in good voice.
Last is It's All Too Much. A real roch anthem by George, it is one of the longest Beatles' songs, at over 6 minutes.
All in all, it a great package. Not for beginners, but for everyone else.
 Not Really The Beatles March 29, 2009

The original soundtrack to the Beatles first animated movie, "Yellow Sumbarine", is filled with six actual Beatles songs, the rest of the album is George Martin's original score for the movie. Yellow Sumbarine is probaly one of the Beatles worst albums due to the fact two of the six Beatles songs on here are taken from other albums(Yellow Sumbarine- Revolver, All You Need Is Love- Magical Mystery Tour) the other four songs besides All Together Now though are great, Only a Northern Song was recorded during the sessions for Sgt. Peppers, was never realesed on that album and was instead realesed on this album, Hey Bulldog was originally recorded by the band never realesed till this album, It's All Too Much was recorded right before Sgt. Pepper was realesed and is a psychedelic jam, rare for a band like the Beatles. Tracks 7-13 are the original score for the movie done by George Martin are OK tracks but not at all the Beatles whatsoever. All in all buy this album if you loved the movie Yellow Sumbarine, want to hear the orignal score, or just are in dire need of everything recorded by the Beatles. Yellow Sumbarine will and always will be one of the least liked Beatles album on the market yet.
 If you're looking for Beatle music, not a lot here October 11, 1998

If you're after Beatle songs, this is definitely NOT the album to start with. There are only four Beatles songs that don't appear on other albums ("Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need Is Love" were borrowed from other LPs), although two of the original songs ("Hey Bulldog" and "All Together Now") are really great. The other two are interesting for their production values, although lyrically "Only a Northern Song" doesn't really go anywhere.
The bulk of the album is given over to George Martin's film score, which is enjoyable if you take it on its own terms. If you're a first-time Beatle buyer, get a few other albums under your belt before you come back to this one.
