The project was regarded as a contractual obligation by the Beatles, who were asked to supply four new songs for the film.

The remainder of the album was a re-recording of the film’s orchestral soundtrack by the band’s producer, George Martin. The album contains six songs by the Beatles, including four new songs and the previously released “ Yellow Submarine” (1966) and “ All You Need Is Love” (1967). It was issued as the soundtrack to the animated film of the same name, which premiered in London in July 1968. Yellow Submarine is the tenth studio album by English rock band the Beatles, released on 13 January 1969 in the United States and on 17 January 1969 in the United Kingdom.
