What do you think would have it been better if “Yellow Submarine ” album was released in “Magical Mystery Tour ” format, with other songs from 1968? For example, with following tracklist:
A side:
Yellow Submarine
Only A Northern Song
All Together Now
Hey Bulldog
It’s All Too Much
All You Need Is Love
B side:
Across The Universe
The Inner Light
Lady Madonna
Revolution
Hey Jude
“Yellow Submarine ” would have to be included, since it’s title song, and “All You Need Is Love ” is film’s central theme. Releasing those 4 single tracks on LP would be a good marketing trick, and including “Across The Universe ” would satisfy John, who was at the time so eager to release it, and fans, who would have a new classic on a new LP. John and Paul are both main authors of 4 songs, George has 3 songs, and Ringo also has a tune he sings. So it also satisfies some “criterias” of “usual” Beatles album.
Your opinion?

I think they should’ve released the scrapped EP in mid-1969 as they’d planned (and which ended up on Mono Masters) that contained the 4 new songs from the album and Across The Universe .

I always wondered why Yellow Submarine didn’t get a similar treatment like Magical Mystery Tour did by including the unreleased songs from the film plus the singles and b-sides from that year.
I know it makes for a scrappy album and I do enjoy George Martin’s compositions but it seems that people would rather a full album of Beatles songs rather than a split album so I think it would have improved the albums reputation somewhat.
I should also mention that I also wondered why they didn’t add It’s Only A Northern Song , It’s All Too Much , All Together Now onto the Magical Mystery Tour album as well but if those songs were added then the Yellow Submarine album would be drastically different.

Offline It’s a great idea but i think the track listing needs to be tinkered with:
Side A:
Yellow Submarine (with unused intro so the song has something new to offer)
It’s All Too Much (extended version)
Side B:
You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)
A lot better than The Beatles George Martin split album that took 6 months after the film’s debut to come out.

Offline ‘You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)’ wasn’t completed until April 1969 so would either be a substantially altered version, not on the album or the album held back by 6 months.

Offline Did the Anthology version have edits from 1969?
I was under the impression that version was completed in 1967 and was shelved and was worked on again in 1969 but I could be wrong.
If that is the case then I will remove it and make it an 11 track album. It still has quite a few long tracks so it wouldn’t be too short.

The version on ‘Anthology 2 ‘ was a newly created extended yet edited composite. It’s on ‘Anthology 2 ‘ as that’s when the track was started. All lead vocals were recorded in April 1969.

Offline Thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought that was the completed version in 1967 and was then changed but with that being the case I would remove that track and keep it at an 11 track album.

Offline I totally agree it should have just included Beatle songs instead of the side 2 George Martin treatment.
Mr. Martin could have just released his own Y. S. soundtrack album. 
Y.S. reminds me of the United Artist “A Hard Day’s Night ” & Capitols “Help !”. Total rip offs, when UK Parlophone gave you full Beatles songs of those 2 LPs

Who knows, maybe had they done this and did it for a summer 1968 release, maybe John and Paul would’ve recorded vocal parts early so the song is more suitable for release on an album.

Offline I would hate for George Martin’s compositions to have never seen the light of day but I think they should have released it under his own name rather than a split album with the Beatles songs.
I have decided to remove You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) as it wouldn’t have been completed in time so here is my new tracklist:
Side A: Songs from the film Yellow Submarine .
1. Yellow Submarine (With unused intro to differencate from the Revolver version)
4. Hey Bulldog
5. It’s All Too Much (Extended version because why not?)
Side B: Assorted songs from 1967-1968.
7. Lady Madonna
10. Hey Jude
11. Revolution

Offline I personally like the Yellow Submarine Songtrack and the way it plays through start the end. I will pick that track listing. It is more of a compilation by this time, but it still sounds great!
