Having recently completed their album Sgt. The album arose from contractual obligations for the Beatles to supply new songs to the soundtrack to United Artists’ animated film Yellow Submarine. It reached the top 5 in the UK and the US, and has been reissued on compact disc several times. Yellow Submarine has since been afforded a mixed reception from music critics, some of whom consider that it falls short of the high standard generally associated with the Beatles’ work. The album was issued two months after the band’s self-titled double LP (also known as the “ White Album“) and was therefore not viewed by the band as a significant release. Some songs were written and recorded specifically for the soundtrack, while others were unreleased tracks from other projects. The project was regarded as a contractual obligation by the Beatles, who were asked to supply four new songs for the film. The remainder of the album was a re-recording of the film’s orchestral soundtrack by the band’s producer, George Martin. The album contains six songs by the Beatles, including four new songs and the previously released “ Yellow Submarine” (1966) and “ All You Need Is Love” (1967).

It was issued as the soundtrack to the animated film of the same name, which premiered in London in July 1968. Yellow Submarine is the tenth studio album by English rock band the Beatles, released on 13 January 1969 in the United States and on 17 January 1969 in the United Kingdom.
