To the horror of their most obsessive fans, the surviving Beatles have proven more than willing to tamper with their pop legacy, as witnessed by the various facets of their massive, occasionally myopic mid-1990s Anthology projects (and the suspect notion of its faux techno-marvel "reunions"). In boldly revamping the soundtrack to their 1968 Heinz Edelmann-designed animated fable Yellow Submarine, the Fabs have shown they're not immune to the irony of the age either: their original involvement in the project was both tentative and minimal. This new version completely excises Beatles-producer Sir George Martin's charming, if sometimes maudlin, orchestral score, offering instead a new "songtrack" containing all the Beatles songs (standout cuts from Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, in addition to the four originals unique to the project) featured in the film. The pre-announced "unreleased song" on the set turns out to be the original album's rollicking "Hey Bulldog", one of the last true Lennon-McCartney collaborations. "Hey Bulldog" was also the subject of both a previously excised sequence in the film and a newly edited in-studio video cobbled together from footage shot in early 1968 and previously used in vintage promos for "Lady Madonna". Though it may further upset purists, the band has allowed these tracks to be digitally remixed and remastered into 5.1 surround sound, imparting both a stunning clarity and a new perspective (as well as restoring a "missing" verse and the original six-minute plus playing time to "It's All Too Much") on some of the greatest--if obviously overexposed--songs and recordings in the history of rock. --Jerry McCulley

Worth it for the Sound and the Great Song Selection.......2007-07-01

Sure, this isn't the original Yellow Submarine, but it's a great collection of songs from the movie and from the era, and they sound better than ever. I agree that the George Martin songs should have been included, but most people who buy this CD already have the original YS so it's not crucial.
You get the great songs off Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and YS, sharper and clearer than I've ever heard them before. Well worth it for any Beatles fan.
And 'Hey Bulldog' is a fantastic bonus.

Fun Music From Movie.......2007-06-27

If you are wanting the Beatles songs (them singing) from the movie, this is the product to purchase. It is great. I have both this CD and the original movie soundtrack. I like them both for different reasons. But this one has made me a huge fan of "Hey Bulldog." I highly recommend it.

I have finally got the whole collection of beatles cds.(all from amazon) The Beatles are simply brilliant, and I have found my 4 sons, aged 18-26,have enjoyed them all. I probably appreciate them more now than before.
Yellow Submarine, has some quirky little songs on it, it is great to find the not so well known songs. The music behind YS is quite brilliant.

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

Yellow Submarine MOVIE.......2007-06-27

Okay, I must admit although I thought I knew what I was purchasing, I was disappointed at first with the CD in the reality that it didn't have all the songs from the movies. But after listening too it, I am glad I purchased it and have come to appreciate and enjoy the instrumentals. This is a George Martin project more than the Beatles....but that ain't bad.

The Rodney Dangerfield of Beatle albums .......2007-06-14

When one looks back at the Beatles 13 studio albums, "Yellow Submarine" (1969) is not the one people usually point out as their favorite. "Yellow Submarine" is sort of like the Rodney Dangerfield of Beatle albums in the sense that it doesn't get any respect. Thrown in with twelve classic albums though, the standards are pretty high. That said, even if "Yellow Submarine" isn't a masterpiece by the Beatles standards, it's still worth owning if you are a fan.

The first half of "Yellow Submarine" consists of six songs, two previously released and four new recordings. While the inclusion of the title track "Yellow Submarine" and "All you Need is Love" may be redundant for people who own "Revolver" (1966) and "Magical Mystery Tour" (1967) their presence really fits the flow and feel of the album and their inclusion works in the album's favor. "Only a Northern Song," written by George Harrison is spacey, psychedelic and thoroughly engrossing. It just sort of picks you up and takes you for a ride. "Only a Northern Song" was actually meant to be included on "Sgt. Pepper" and why it was left off makes no sense to me as I feel it stands as one of Harrison's finest compositions. McCartney's sing-along "All Together Now" is pretty lame, but still kind of fun. Lennon's "Hey Bulldog" kicks all kinds of ass and is one of the most rocking, ballsy, underrated songs he ever wrote in the Beatles. Another psychedelic Harrison composition, "It's All Too Much" is maybe a little more subdued that "Only a Northern Song" yet is as strong.

The remaining seven songs are quasi-classical instrumental pieces composed by Beatles producer George Martin. While I don't listen to the instrumental side of "Yellow Submarine" all that much, I still enjoy it. While Martin's compositions may not be great art, they are still pleasant and the music is tuneful and soothing.

I rate this album so low not because the music is mediocre, but rather because when "Abbey Road" and "Revolver" are the standard, the bar is set pretty high. Three of the new songs on this album, "Only a Northern Song," "Hey Bulldog" and "It's All Too Much" stand as some of the Beatles best music and I'd rate each of those five stars. And while Martin's instrumental side may not be brilliant, it's still memorable in its own right.

I'l be brief....Just go and get the "Yellow Submarine Songtrack" from 1999. A vastly better value and listening experience. It contains the band tracks from this CD plus lots of other tracks from the Fabs' psychedelic era. The tracks were superbly remixed and remastered at Abbey Road in 1998. These give the mind a glimpse of what the Beatles catalog might sound like remastered.

Not the best treatment of Beatles music from the classical point of view. London Symphony was much better.

Hearing the Beatles music arranged in classical format shows what great musicians and composers Lennon and McCartney were.

AMAZING!.......2005-01-08

I cannot help but smile when I listen to the beautiful arrangements on this album. It blends the Beatles' genius for melody with the great percussive sound and incredible energy of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. I've heard other orchestral versions of Beatles songs, but none has compared to this one (if anyone has found a better CD, please post a note here). Any Beatles or Pops fan should definitely own this CD. I can't stop listening!

Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops do the Beatles.......2005-01-01

As conductor of the Boston Pops for almost half a century, Arthur Fiedler brought popular classical music and pop music with a classical twist to the people. Leonard Bernstein was providing an intellectual and more glamorous musical education for Americans, but Fielder was coming into our living rooms on a weekly basis with his Boston Pops concerts. Fielder and the Boston Pops produced a lot of records, mostly with RCA in the 1950s through the 1970s, most of which offered everything from classical overtures and ballet pieces to movies themes and the hits of the Beatles.

It was inevitable that with over a hundred albums the Boston Pops would do the Fab Four. They were the first orchestra to perform the songs of the Beatles in 1964 when Fiedler returned from a trip to Liverpool ("I Want to Hold Your Hand" was the first one they ever did). These are not just these songs played by a classical orchestra but rather arrangements done for this purpose. You will notice that one of the standard ways of arranging these songs is to use the chorus as the introduction for the song (e.g., "Eleanor Rigby," "Hey Jude"). If you can guess from the drumming at the beginning of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" or "Yellow Submarine" what those songs are then you are way ahead of me, but that is the sense of fun that Fiedler brought to these songs by giving them the John Phillip Sousa treatment.

Sometimes it is such the simple elegance of doing the guitar parts with strings, as with "And I Love Her," or even the staccato strings of "Penny Lane," that makes the songs enjoyable. Then there are the mood chances invoked by turning "A Little Help From My Friends" into a work of minor chords. My assumption is that if you pick up this album you will know the songs, but not these arrangements, so you should just forget about looking at the play list and just listen to the music.

There are a quartet of bonus tracks on the album, featuring live versions of "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "And I Love Her," and "A Hard Day's Night." These are not different versions of these songs, which is too bad because I thought it would be interesting to see if the Pops arrangers could come up with different classical ways of doing the same songs. The final track is actually Fiedler talking about how the Pops came to play the Beatles music, as a "novelty." I have not listened to this sort of music for a while, but it makes for nice background music and there are more albums out there. Remember "Saturday Night Fiedler"?

Some Moments - but doesn't live up to expectations.......2004-09-30

During the 20th century, Arthur Fiedler was one of the most celebrated conductors of orchestral music. He is most famous for being the longtime conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra. As someone who is a novice to classical music, I have found Arthur Fiedler's music very easy to get into. Namely, Fiedler made classical music easy - for the everyday fan to enjoy. One way Fiedler accomplished this is through doing popular tunes in the classical style. Fiedler's style often added a new gusto to classical music concerts by including not only popular music, but also Broadway tunes, jazz, folk, and advertising jingles - all done in the classical style (in the late 70s, he even did Saturday Night Fever tunes - 'Saturday Night Fiedler'). One might get very excited to hear that there is a collection in which Fiedler does Beatles tunes. I've always thought the Beatles' music would lend itself perfectly in the classical music arena - especially their later works. On this particular collection "Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra play The Beatles", it does have it moments where things work very well. However, overall this collection did fall short on my high expectations that I had.

There are several things that disappoint me about this collection. For starters, there is only a total of two songs from the Beatles best three albums: "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" has one song ("With a Little Help From My Friends"), The "White Album" has one song ("Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da"), while there is no songs from "Abbey Road". As mentioned above, I thought the Beatles' later material lent itself well to being played with an orchestra. These albums are really the cornerstone of this period, yet there is two songs between these three albums. I understand that Fiedler's "Play the Beatles" was put together in 1969, but I still expected much more of a presence from these albums. I think many of the tunes on these albums could have lent itself very easily to classical music. For example, songs such as "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", "When I'm Sixty-Four", "Day in the Life", "Come Together", "Golden Slumbers", "Carry That Weight", "Birthday", and "Helter Skelter" would have sounded wonderful being played under the classics. I don't know if the Fiedler and the Boston Pops ever did these songs, but if they did - they should have been included. If they were done, it would be nice to hear them on an updated version of this collection. Some of these tunes are available on other classics collection, but Fiedler's Orchestra was the best at playing this music, so I would have liked to have heard it here.

The other thing that disappoints me are some of the selections themselves. Most of the tunes do keep to the sound you would expect from the Beatles, but some do not sound as good as I would expect. "With a Little Help From My Friends" just doesn't sound much like the original tune. The song that I consider the signature song by the Beatles - "Hey Jude" is an extreme disappointment - it just doesn't capture the magic of the original song. Songs like "Michelle" and "And I Love Her" do keep to the Beatles sound, but they somehow miss the mark. Perhaps these two songs aren't the best songs to be done with a Classical Orchestra.

However, this collection is not all bad. There are some positive points that do shine. There are several songs which surprise me on how well they sounded being played in the classical sense. "Eleanor Rigby" is one of those. You can feel a lot of power and emotion with that song. Another song that surprises me how well it sounds being played as a classical piece is "Penny Lane". Fiedler is also able to demonstrate a lot of power by playing by playing "Penny Lane' as a classical piece. In "Yellow Submarine", Fiedler puts a military and marching band spin on the song. It gives the song a whole new dimension. As for my favorite piece on the collection - it has to be "Fool on the Hill". Somehow I almost like "Fool on the Hill" played as a classical piece better than how the Beatles do it. Other songs that sound good are a couple of the Beatles' earlier tunes - "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "A Hard Day's Night"

It is worth noting that there are some live versions of these songs included with Fiedler's studio recordings. In particular there are live versions of "And I Love Her" and "A Hard Day's Night". There are also multiple versions of the same song included. You will hear three different recordings of "I Want To Hold Your Hand" (one from 1964 and two from 1969 - you will hear a change in tempo). There are also two versions of "A Hard Day's Night" (the live 1965 version and a 1969 studio recording). Counting the live and studio versions - there are also two versions of "And I Love Her".

It is also worth noting that on the final song (the third version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand"), there is a spoken introduction by Arthur Fiedler which is about 1 minute long in which Fiedler explains why he started playing Beatles music. The liner notes contain a one panel writeup by Peter Dellheim that discuss a little more background about the success Fiedler has had playing the Beatles.

Overall, this isn't a bad collection. I had higher expectations knowing how good a conductor Arthur Fiedler is as well as knowing how good many of the Beatles' songs would have sounded. This might appeal to the Beatles fan wanting to hear songs Classical, and possibly even vice versa - but if you want to go deeper with the Beatles being played classical, you may have to go elsewhere.

falls short.......2006-08-06

Sure I love the Beatles. And while I don't have much of an ear for classical, there is a lot I like. And I'm a sucker for rock music with real string sections. But this CD just doesn't hold my interest; it sounds like elevator classical. Who'd've thunk that one could make a string arrangement of Yesterday or Yellow Submarine that would bore me?

Perhaps if I could discern the "wittily chopped up [variations comparable to those] which Mozart and Beethoven wrote on the well-known songs of their own day," I'd like it more. But my wife (who plays in a local symphony, and does have an ear for classical motifs) also finds the songs uninspiring.

The only tracks which held my interest were Help and Can't Buy Me Love.

Ah, the beuty of the cello:.......2006-06-04

Okay, I have no idea why people are judging this based purely on lablings: quite frankly, it should be about the music, and nothing else.

Now, with that said, I have to say this is one of the most beutiful arrangements for a Band I've ever heard. The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Phil have done a phenominal job at creating something amazing and new out of something amazing and old. I have to say that this is for any fan of the Beatles, classical music, and anything cello related. I'd deffinately suggest the buy, as the entire album is gorgeous.

Oh, and Cello Choirs are probobly the best string ensembles in existance (biased, yes: but that's okay, because cello deserves my bias)

Very well done.......2005-09-19

First of all, I LOVE the Beatles, and I LOVE Classical music. Personally I do not care how Amazon lists this CD.
That being said, I have played many arrangements of Beatles songs (mostly for string quartet) and they all leave something to be desired. These arrangements are bright, colorful and imaginative. Some of the songs have quite lengthy introductions that can have even the most devoted Beatles fan without liner notes in hand skipping forward to find out exactly what song they are listening to. I especially loved Norwegian Wood (I almost like it more than the real deal!). I have long been a fan of cello choirs, and for those who can't get enough cello this will be like a trip to heaven! If you like this CD, also try out the London Viola Sound

BEATLES IN CLASSICS.......2004-04-30

This is the title of a CD I have by the 12 Cellists Of The Berlin Philharmonic.Obviously the same one with a different sleeve.
Yet anyone who claims to know anything about the Beatles knows that "Lennon/McCartney" was agreed on at the beginning whoever wrote the song

You're missing the point...............2003-04-15

While I am sympathetic to the concerns of the other reviewers' issues with the song credits, with all due respoect to Beatlemanics, they can get a little carried away with Beatles trivia and forget that we're talking about MUSIC, something they neglected entirely. I found this CD to be filled with very creative arrangements, that were beautifully and flawlessly executed. This "Dandy Dozen" puts a spin on the Fab Four that takes them into a different dimension, artistically speaking, far from the dad-whistled muzak that another reviewer mistook it for. My only objection was that the recording quality was not the highest quality, and a little "noisy".

Despite mindless suggestions to the contrary, it's on Gracenote. And it's an official release. Sure, it's Russian. But they made pretty good ICBM's, I think CD's would not be outside their technical expertise. Good sounds, good value, prejudice aside, what's not to like?

Official Release?.......2007-05-07

EMI hasn't released "Get Back" as an album. Glynn Johns edited this track order together after the 1969 sessions, which eventually, producer Phil Spector put together to make "Let It Be." I am not sure what this release is. If it doesn't have an APPLE CORPS/Parlophone/or Capitol/EMI logo on it, then you decide what it is. I only wish EMI would release this on CD, along with Beatles videos and more. Paul McCartney is STILL sitting on a goldmine in his own "bootleg" compilation: "Cold Cuts," along with dozens of great music videos. Let's hope this stuff gets released while some of the fans are still alive.

Music I Never Tire Of.......2007-02-08

Rehersal-like tracks from the masters, amazingly dynamic and performed with humor and honesty on "Get Back". Like the Beach Boys and Rolling Stones, this sound is different on every listening but always wonderful.

Unnecessary.......2001-04-18

While it would be, of course, somewhat unfair to rate this CD recording of some of the world's most famous pieces for virtuoso violin the same way one would for a mature, older artist's recordings, it is horrendous marketing strategy on the part of Sony Classical to release this three CD set on the premise that they are "brilliant," as stated on the back of the CD case. They are anything but, as a quick listen to any one of the three CDs will reveal to the discerning ear.

The first two CDs are mainly concerned with Mae playing the Kabalevsky, the Tchaikovsky Concerto in D, and the Beethoven Concerto in D -- all highly acclaimed pieces aimed at showing off not only the speed, strength, physical and mental endurance of the violinist, but also, certainly, the tone production and "fingers," as Sarah Chang would have liked to put it. Mae fails on almost all the above counts. While she professes to have a high degree of passion for the Tchaikovsky and the Beethoven (Mae gushes about learning them by heart long before her instructor had the chance to teach them to her), the pieces are a great disappointment. The first thing to jarr the ear is her tone (a scratchy, unconfident, and extremely tinny one, at that) and, rather surprising, her lack of capability at pulling off the cadenzas. It is beyond anyone's understanding how the then young Mae's speed and technical accuracy could be so highly acclaimed as they are by some quarters when she falters and stumbles along the notes, mainly in the higher registers. This is most apparent in the extremely poor playing of Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy, where she sometimes lags behind the entire orchestra by a few wrenching notes as she struggles to catch up and keep in tempo.

The pieces on the Virtuoso Album CD aren't worth much -- colourless, soulless renditions of miniatures that have been performed better by countless of other violinists, at every measure of age (Chang does a splendid job of the Carmen Fantasy, and she recorded it in the studios when she was only nine years old).

The only redeeming piece of the entire three CD set I can think of must be the Russian Dance from Swan Lake. Although her bowing is rarely, if ever, confident and full, her thin, wavering vibrato ever used effectively, she opens the piece with a vigour that isn't seen in any other of the pieces.

It is rather unfortunate that Mae has never really progressed far, classically -- a look at her later recordings (the Classical Collection 2) and her live performance at the Royal Albert Hall (where the Shostakovich Piano Trio No. 2, Moses Variation on a G String, and a few others were played) drives the point home painfully. I am a fan, of course, but not one of her classical side -- the techno-pop-fusion music masks her flaws well enough to allow one to forget that one is listening to a very mediocre violinist at work.

Vanessa-Mae as a Child Prodigy at 12 and 13.......2000-11-14

Vanessa-Mae: is the beautiful young Singaporean violinist with her flowing hair, gorgeous figure, pop star clothes, electric violin, laser and light shows, websites, and rock band just a media creation, or is she instead a modern-day Pagannini or Liszt, a true virtuoso with a flair for showmanship? In other words, can she play? This three CD set of her early recordings, made when she was only 12 and 13 years old, answers the question authoritatively. Although there are, of course, some flaws, the fact remains that even at this early age Vanessa-Mae was a stunning performer. At thirteen she played better than many profession musicians have at thirty, myself included. Listen, for example, to the stunning beginning of Sarasate's Concert Fantasy on `Carmen".

There is a certain tension between the interpretations of the soloist and the conductor occasionally, especially when Vanessa-Mae wants to play faster than the conductor will allow. This is in fact my biggest criticism of the recording; but these ego wars are not only the bloodiest but also the most common of musical slaughterhouses, and it is no surprise that such a young performer would get caught up in it. Otherwise, the performance is terrific--intonation is impeccable, interpretation confident. In particular, Vanessa-Mae has a commanding technique in the highest range, where her tone absolutely soars. Only very rarely, and then only at the very end of a rising run, does her intonation slip slightly. And she varies her style appropriately to suit the music--at the time of this recording she'd not yet gotten to playing Vivaldi with a rock band. In Fritz Kreisler's Schon Rosmarin, I can practically see her in a ball gown with her hair up in ringlets, performing this for the Viennese elite at a society soiree. It seems appropriately schmatzy to me, and it provides a link between the Classical and popular sides of Vanessa-Mae featured in this collection.

The set consists of three CDs, the first the Russian Album, the second, the Viennese Album, and the third, the Virtuoso Album. This last title is somewhat curious, as only two-thirds of the way through do the selections take a virtuoso turn. Otherwise, they are pops and light classics that are not at all demanding of the performer. This CD has a theme of inspiration from various sources, and the selections are categorized as "inspired by the classics, inspired by cinema, inspired by pop and folk culture, and inspired by opera" and include such things as arrangements of Brahms Lullaby, Mancini's theme to The Pink Panther, and Richard Rogers' My Favorite Things. Unfortunately, the Beatles also make an appearance--I love the Beatles, but Lennon and McCartney's Yellow Submarine is a testament to the perils of drug use. Whatever fondness society has for this piece--and I know they do, as my 10 year old daughter is learning it on recorder for her music class at school--this affection must come from our memories of youth, the fun of the 70's and the association of the imaginative animation by Peter Maxx of the movie, perhaps even the symbolism, arcane as it may be, of the text. Objectively, though, the tune is as trivial and banal as anything ever written, and here it gets turned into a sort of mini-violin concerto. Call the Blue Meanies and the Apple-Bonkers to put a stop to that!

But the other performances and pieces on this CD more than make up for this miscue. The first CD features Violin Concerti by Kabelevsky and Tchaikovsky, and Beethoven's violin concerto is featured on the second CD with a gorgeous performance. Vanessa-Mae clearly *can* play--she is much more than just a media creation. This collection, a portrait of the artist as a young woman, proves the point admirably.

Vanessa-Mae as a Child Prodigy at 12 and 13.......2000-11-14

Great early recording.......2000-11-11

I should of course first disclose that I do not know very much about classical music, but as far as I can tell this is a fantastic recording.

This 3-cd set is a reissue of the early classical recordings that Vanessa-Mae made before crossing over into pop. It is a fantastic set because it offers a wide range of music: Tchaaikovsky, Kreisler, Beethoven, Paganini, Sarasate, Bach, Brahms and others. Vanessa-Mae's playing is fantastic throughout. I have always felt that she is a much stronger classical than pop player -- she really does not bring much uniqueness to pop music (just electronic supporting instruments) -- however, her remarkable classical mastery is easily evident even to an inexperienced person like me.

I Wish I had a Yellow Submarine.......2006-06-10

This song track is an interesting and unusual CD in that it has a title similar to the original, but it is not the original. The original "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack was a combination of a few Beatles songs with the portions of the score from the movie. The result was less than transcendent; indeed, it was a farrago of musical styles clearly better suited to the movie than to even a soundtrack.

Someone, I have heard it was a film company executive, decided he wanted to have a "better" version of the soundtrack created. So engineer Peter Cobbin retrieved the four-track tapes of the "Yellow Submarine" songs and, using today's technology, remixed all the songs, discarding the score in favor of the 15 songs from the movie. In general, I'd say the remix is an improvement, but, it is very different from the original.

Some of the songs received only minimal benefit, if any, from the re-mix. Some of the songs received a lot of benefit. Comparing "All You Need Is Love" to the previous version, the sound is bolder and clearer, and I think the bass comes through more clearly. Many of the other songs that were early stereo songs, some of which were in a kind of pseudo-stereo, were remixed to put the vocals more in the middle and move the instruments outward. I suppose Beatles purists will object to some of the changes, but in general I think the changes are very good and are an improvement.

A question you might have is why you should buy this album if you have all The Beatles' other albums. Good question. Most of these songs appear on other albums: "Rubber Soul," "Sgt. Pepper," and "Magical Mystery Tour." If you have the original "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack, then I think you pretty much have everything on this CD. I have all of these CDs except for the original "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack, which I currently do not plan to buy. I enjoy all three of the aforementioned Beatles' albums, and listen to them often. However, I've noticed that some of the remixes are noticeably better than in the original albums. Furthermore, the songs are those that appeared in the movie. Lastly, it's a Beatles album, and I've got most of the Beatles albums released after 1966 on CD, so I just had to have this one. This album makes me wish I had a yellow submarine.

And now I give you a significant word of warning. There are several versions of this album available. This particular version is one of the most expensive. You should survey the albums available and determine which version meets your needs the best before buying.

I think what I got from this album was worth it, and I hope you will too.

Weakest Beatles album, but still worth listening to.......2003-12-03

Yellow Submarine (1969.) The Beatles' eleventh studio album.

In 1969, The Beatles wanted to do another film, this one combining animation with live action. But rather than basing the song on newly released music, they based it on an older idea. The end result was Yellow Submarine. The film's soundtrack was released along with the film as the band's eleventh album. How does it measure up? Read on and see.

If there's one Beatles album that will make you say "what the heck?" and leave you wanting more, it's Yellow Submarine. The album only consists of four unreleased songs, two Beatles songs previously avaiable on past Beatles albums (the title track which originally appeared on 1966's Revolver, and Magical Mystery Tour's All You Need Is Love), and the last half of the album consists of orchestra music by George Martin. The two previously released tracks are good songs, but needless to say, most Beatles fans already have these on their respective albums, and won't want to purchase them again. The previously unreleased tracks, while few in number, are the highlight of the package. George Harrison serves up two bizzare but excellent tracks, Only A Northern Song and It's All Too Much. John Lennon serves up a hard rocker entitled Hey Bulldog that should have been WAY more popular. Paul McCartney gives us a little "sing-along" type song called All Together Now, which is weird but still enjoyable. The orchestra music occupies the rest of the disc. Since this isn't even the band, the casual fan and even some die-hards won't find it that appealing (myself included.) To quote another reviewer, the people who skip the orchestra music are generally the same people who skip Revolution 9 on the band's self-titled White album - and I fall into that category. In the end you'll be left thinking this album could have been much more than it was.

Yellow Submarine is FOR BEATLES DIE-HARDS ONLY. Four previously unreleased tracks just isn't enough to make a casual fan want to purchase the album. A little word of caution - make sure you get the OLD version of the album and not the NEW version (the new one ditches the orchestra music and replaces it with a number of classic Beatles tunes - and every track on the album is remixed. This may sound appealing, but it's NOT the original album!) Once again, pass this album by unless you LOVE the band.

A good compliment to the movie.......2002-06-24

This is a hit or miss with the listener. However it is a great compliment to the movie. The media transports to more locations than the movie. As stand alone first time this CD is not that attractive. With the advent of writable CD's the order of songs is negligible. You can place them in any order and as many times as you like leaving out any secondary songs. Than keep this CD as the master incases you preferences change.
