Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
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

The Classical Music Lover's Beatles Album?,
By Gontroppo "Music and Theology Lover" (Bathurst, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yellow Submarine (Audio CD)
This album is interesting and different. There are only 4 Beatles songs here which are not found on the other original albums. All Together Now is the only one that captures the mood of the song Yellow Submarine. It is simple and easy to sing, but not very substantial. Hey Bulldog is a great rock tune, with weak lyrics. John is clearly having a laugh at us, I think. George Harrison's songs are interesting musically and lyrically. You get the feeling that he was trying to see what he could get away with, musically. I love the silly lines in "It's All Too Much," "and all the world is birthday cake George Martin's suite of music which he wrote for the Yellow Submarine soundtrack is terrific. You hear him experimenting with some of the sounds which he had helped to create for The Beatles, such as the sitars and orchestral strings of Within You, Without You and the slurpy cellos of I Am the Walrus. Pepperland is a lovely tune. I was privileged to hear Martin perform it live in Sydney [with some of the other Y S soundtrack music], around the time that his Beatles tribute album, In My Life, was released. If you love the Beatles AND Classical music, I think you will appreciate this album.

Set off for Pepperland...,
By JB "musicmadfan" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yellow Submarine (Audio CD)
This is a very nice cd of the Beatles movie Yellow Submarine even though It's not their best and It only has 6 of their songs they actually play on (the rest is all classical) but still It's ok I mean If you think about it...there is somthing for evreyone. Rock, pop, prcadelic, classical. So it ain't too bad. Another bad point is that 2 of the songs is already on other Beatles albums. But still has good music on it. If you don't want any of the classical stuff, get the other Yellow Subamrine one. But It is very nice to take a trip to pepperland.I'll just give a few comments on these 4 songs. Only a northern song - Very trippy, catchy too. Over all It's a pretty good album but don't get too excited, you might be a bit disapointed. But I still like it and besides Its nice to complete your wee Beatles collection! tee hee

Totally over-critisized!,
By
This review is from: Yellow Submarine (Audio CD)
If you are a Beatles fan, you should very much enjoy listening to this album, providing you buy it knowing exactly what the album is. It is not another 'studio' album, it is a soundtrack album. Tracks 7-13 are orchestrations by George Martin used in the film, and are wonderfully imaginative, sounding like they belong in a drugged-up Disney film.
Only 4 of the first 6 tracks are new ('All You Need Is Love' and of course, 'Yellow Submarine' are tacked on to it). Of the two George Harrison Tracks, 'Only A Northern Song' is somewhat charming with simplistic yet effective lyrics- it is very easy to listen to. 'It's All Too Much' has been labelled by Rolling Stone as one of the top five all-time psychedelic freakouts and with good reason! It also has arguably the best guitar work in all the Beatles catalogue. 'All Together Now' is admittedly annoying but is perfectly placed on this album- it WILL get stuck in your head! 'Hey Bulldog' is widely seen as the pick of the bunch, apparently the last genuine collaboration between Lennon and McCartney and is a fantastic pop/rock track. My advice is to buy this album if you are a big Beatles fan, as long as you are aware that The Beatles were not trying to produce another classic, instead just produce the obligatory soundtrack and remember; if you are really not bothered about the orchestrations, there is 'Yellow Submarine Songtrack,' a Beatles 'best of' containing all 4 of the new tracks to Yellow Submarine. Enjoy!
