Admittedly, the soundtrack to Yellow Submarine wasn't
one of the highlights in the Beatles' catalog, so
providing an official alternate version of it is no big
deal. It only contained four new songs -- two of which
were written by Harrison, which indicates how seriously
Lennon and McCartney took the project, if their
enjoyable throwaways ("Hey Bulldog" and "All Together
Now," respectively) didn't provide enough of a clue --
plus two previously released songs ("All You Need Is
Love," "Yellow Submarine") and a side of George Martin
instrumentals from the film's score. The Beatles never
assembled a slighter album while they were active, so
it wasn't a sacrilege when their organization decided
to assemble a "songtrack" -- a soundtrack that featured
only the songs in the film, not any of the
instrumentals -- to coincide with the re-release of the
film in 1999. In a way, it's an improvement on the
soundtrack since it eliminates dead weight and
strengthens the original six songs with nine songs
featured in the movie ("Eleanor Rigby," "Lucy in the
Sky With Diamonds," "Sgt. Pepper," etc.). It's a little
jarring not to hear the songs from the soundtrack in a
different order on the songtrack, but ultimately the
record is entertaining, if a bit familiar. That's not
the case with the sound, though. The Beatles (or their
managers or their company, since the three surviving
members feel as curiously uninvolved with the songtrack
as they did with the soundtrack) have decided to make
this the first remixed CD in their catalog instead of
simply producing a new remastered tape. The differences
are slight but never really an improvement, making this
an enjoyable but unnecessary addition to the group's
catalog.
