History
The soundtrack for Yellow Submarine, The Beatles’ fourth film, was the band’s tenth UK album. It was released in early 1969, just weeks after The White Album. The film project had begun in 1967, at a time when The Beatles had little enthusiasm for making a full length film. They had recently completed Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and were more focused on the television special Magical Mystery Tour and its soundtrack. However they were under contract by United Artists to make another film and by way of compromise an animation featuring the voices of actors and the music of The Beatles was decided upon. The Beatles additionally agreed to film a short sequence for the film’s end and oversaw its creation.

The Beatles supplied four new songs for the film. Two of these (Only A Northern Song and It’s All Too Much) were by George Harrison. At a time when the guitarist struggled to have his compositions included on The Beatles’ albums, this shows how little regard the band, and John Lennon and Paul McCartney in particular, held the project. Of the other two new songs, Hey Bulldog was recorded in a 10-hour session during the filming of the Lady Madonna promotional film. All Together Now’ meanwhile, took even less time, just six hours on May 12, 1967. In the absence of George Martin, the song was essentially produced by Paul McCartney with assistance from engineer Geoff Emerick.
