This would have been similar to what they had just done in Britain with the six tracks they had recorded for “ Magical Mystery Tour” the previous year. In fact, the initial plan was to release the new Beatles songs from the film in the form of an EP, proposed for release in September of 1968.
“We want it out before the 'Yellow Submarine” LP comes out,” Paul stated in early July. This too was shelved for the time being because of the “ White Album” being their primary focus.

When Capitol saw that the movie was opening in November, they excitedly put together cover artwork for the anticipated soundtrack album and assigned another catalog number (ST 3354) in conjunction with it being released on their newly formed Apple Records label. Capitol thereby reserved a catalog number (ST 2957) for this release, but it was eventually assigned to a different Capitol album since The Beatles and EMI were too busy with other projects at the time, the most noteworthy being the recording of the “ White Album.” With the film opening in England in July of 1968, Capitol Records assumed that a soundtrack album for the movie would be released very soon. Since the film opened much earlier in England, on July 17th, 1968, British audiences had to wait a whopping six months to get their copies of these songs. However, with the release of their new double album “ The Beatles” (aka the “ White Album”) a week and a half later on November 25th of that year, Beatles fans had quite enough to occupy them in the meantime. This means that moviegoers heard a handful of new Beatles songs in the theater as part of the movie but were not able to own them for another two months.

The movie was released in America on November 13th, 1968, but the accompanying soundtrack album wasn't released until a full two months later. George Martin remembers: “Whenever we were working on a song that we didn't like too much, or wasn't that brilliant a one, they would say, 'OK, let's put that one aside, that will do for the Yellow Submarine.' That was the attitude.” Since the group only reluctantly agreed to participate in this project, they would save songs they deemed unsuitable for their current releases, such as “ Magical Mystery Tour,” and submit them for the animated film project. When an agreement was made, the contract allowed them to use as many as twelve previously released Beatles songs, but also required four new songs for the film. "Brian had set it up and we had nothing to do with it," John stated in 1968.

As it was, The Beatles weren't keen on making a third movie at all and thought it would be an appropriate way to fulfill their contract with United Artists by allowing Al Brodax to create an animated movie without need of much involvement from them.Īl Brodax, who produced the King Features cartoon series of The Beatles in America, approached Brian Epstein in 1966 about such an endeavor. Tolkein's “The Lord Of The Rings” being discussed. The first two movies made in this three-film deal with the company were highly successful box office hits, namely “ A Hard Day's Night” and “Help!” Negotiations were being made for a third movie as early as February 1965, film titles such as “A Talent For Loving,” “Shades Of A Personality,” “Up Against It,” “The Three Musketeers” and even a film adaptation of J.R.R. This was the third Beatles movie prepared to fulfill the October 1963 agreement with United Artists. “Yellow Submarine” is the title of the first and only full-length animated movie featuring the music of The Beatles.
