I always loved the movie, and the soundtrack is just as good. I always loved the Beatles. They were one of the safest bands out there, safe for everyone in the family to listen to. My three year old wanted a cd for x-mas, and my first line of thought was to get away from those stupid kids song cd's and trying to find her something that I wasn't ready to pull my hair out everything I heard. This cd is fun and the songs are just as fun to sing along to as they were when I was a kid.
THIS HAS 15 SONGS WHICH HAVE BEEN REMIXED AND IS CALLED "THE YELLOW SUBMARINE SONGTRACK" SEE WIKIPEDIA: [.]. "I'm a casual listener, liked "Love" and probably won't buy the albums, but want to hear some more."P.S.
Not quite as unsettling for the purists as the "Love" album remixes, but approaching the Holy Grail of a better sounding version of the original. Here we have a collection of reasonably unadulterated remixes, which in most cases sound better than the recently re-mastered versions.
"I'm mad crazy about the Beatles and I want the best version (for clarity) on my stereo or ipod."2. (Try also the Beatles Remixers Group for this sort of thing, they made an admirable remix of Rubber Soul, cleaning up areas like distortion on "Michelle," still evident on the re-mastered version).
Check also Dave Armstrong's blog: [.].Subjective opinions will always vary, but I'd buy this for the following reasons: 1. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE YELLOW SUBMARINE ALBUM FROM 2009/1968.
FOR FULL EXPLANATION.
The poorly mixed songs on the original soundtrack (and 2009 remaster) get the treatment they deserve on this 1999 release. Remixed songs from Rubber Soul ("Nowhere Man" "Think for Yourself") Revolver ("Eleanor Rigby" "Yellow Submarine" "Love You To") and Sgt Pepper (title track - "With a Little Help" "Lucy in the Sky" "When I'm 64") as well as the original soundtrack songs especially "Hey Bulldog" have not been improved upon even with the 2009 remasters. This was one of the few times that Capitol EMI hit a home run with Beatle reissues and remains one of my all time favorite Beatle CDs. The 2009 remaster would be recommended only to those who enjoy George Martin's orchestral scores to the film (and they are not that bad) - for Beatle fans this IS the Yellow Submarine soundtrack to own hands down.
What sound. 5.1 was the way to go.I ran the cd through my 6.1 sound system.I was impressed with the clarity.I especially enjoyed the additional songsadded to the cd rather than the musicalnumbers by George Martin on the originalsoundtrack.For my money, and it was, the 1999version is the one to buy.
Whatever happened to the original orchestrations by George Martin. They are just an afterthought in the land of Beatlemania, but the man was instrumental in creating the sound behind the Beatles and made a real contribution to the film. "Pepperland", "Sea of Holes" are two that come to mind since I don't have my vinyl in front of me and I really wish they would be available.
