Released only weeks after the White Album, Yellow Submarine is the soundtrack to the cartoon movie, and its only redeeming features, if you own everything they released from Revolver through the end of 1967, are four tracks not found anywhere else. The rest of the album, Side 2, consists of an orchestral soundtrack re-recorded for the album by producer George Martin.

Of the four new tracks, Only a Northern Song is a George Harrison outtake from Sgt. Pepper, All Together Now is a pleasant kiddie singalong by Paul McCartney, Hey Bulldog is a fierce piano-driven rocker by John Lennon, and It s All Too Much is a spectacular Magical Mystery Tour outtake from Harrison that arguably should ve been on that album in place of Blue Jay Way.

CONDITION:

RECORD

IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight

a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions mostly sleeve scuffs - are barely visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

b The record is STILL in its original inner, hi-grade MFSL PVC inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the record from the harmful impact of elements over many years

c The record is pressed on a beautiful, high-quality, virgin-grade vinyl, which is usually used for audiophile, extended-dynamic-range, half-speed mastered and connoisseur pressings.

d In addition, the record is pressed on a RELATIVELY thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy dynaflex type , vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

e Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording

COVER : This reference test pressing comes without any custom jacket, and will be shipped in a plain, generic, white MFSL cardboard test pressing cover NOT SEPARATELY GRADED, BUT IN A VERY NICE CONDITION OVERALL
