Of course it's an album! Just because some (okay, nearly all) of them are old, I would at least consider it a soundtrack album.

In One Word: Yes. Detailed Explanation: It has their music from the movie. Plus it has been included on The Beatles album list since it's release.

Of course yellow submarine counts as a Beatles album! Even if there are some older songs, there were new (and if I might add, quite amazing) songs, making it a release with new material at the time, making it an album.
PEACE OUT.

A few more details regarding ATU.

A mono mix incorporating animal effects was prepared some time later that year [1968] (an acetate is played during the January 1969 Twickenham Sessions), but the charity LP failed to surface. In March 1969, the mix was copied for inclusion on a mooted Yellow Submarine EP, but that was aborted as well. Finally the Wildlife album surfaced in December 1969..." ('That Magic Feeling. The Beatles' Recording Legacy Vol. 2, 1966 - 1970' by John C Winn.)

George Martin created 2 stereo mixes on October 2nd 1969, one with the effects and the other without, both sped up slightly, with the effects ...

The underlying theme here seems to be that mono is a good thing.

In 1968, at least in the U.S., mono was synonymous with "hopelessly outdated" and still is seen that way today.

The exception would be recordings originally carried out in mono and then artificially reproduced into stereo. In such cases, the mono is clearly superior. (I have some borderline hilarious re-releases of early Beatle records where all the vocals are one side and all the instruments on the other; great for Karaoke!).

I don't know that in 1968 EMI would have been knocking itself out to produce the best mono possible. ...

Yes it is. Mono Masters took the mixes prepared for the EP and put it on CD. Same mix.

Nice idea meanmistermustard. Anyway is the mono masters mix of across the universe the mix that should be released on yellow submarine, Lewissohn says the bird effects were added when the song was mixed into stereo in october or so, but the mono set booklet says they were already added to the mono mix done in february 68 in january 69. So is the mono masters version the yellow submarine ep version?

Would have to check the timeline but it wouldnt surprise me if the EP was scheduled to be released after the soundtrack album with ATU added as an enticer for the fans who wanted all beatle songs. Tho I think The Beatles now had the power to veto any release they didnt want so it was dropped.

Interestingly the ep was true mono and not the fold down stereo used on the mono lp. Strange that true mono was sitting there waiting to be used but wasnt - maybe that was to be another marketing point: "fools, you bought the mono lp thinking it was ...

The proposed Yellow Submarine EP (mono) was to include the 4 album songs and ATU. Just to get rid of it.

GeorgeTSimpson said, ""ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and 4 songs from the hit movie yellow submarine"

A few of you I think have mentioned "Across the Universe."

But where does that come from?

It's not on the album; is it even in the movie?

I thought Northern Songs, from Only A Northern Song and they were published by Northern Songs but it would give the wrong impression; 'The Beatles Northern Songs' with Donald Where's Your Troosers, Auld Lang Syne, My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose, Loch Lomond (man that song gives me the chills, the alternate Scottish national anthem).

Good Idea meanmistermustard, an example:

"SAIL THE SHIP
featuring songs from the hit movie yellow submarine"

or another idea

"ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
and 4 songs from the hit movie yellow submarine"

I never, ever think of it as a "Beatles Album" - even though it is indeed an album of songs and says "The Beatles" on the cover, which is fairly undeniable. Both "Hey Bulldog" and "It's All Too Much" are first-rate imo.

Yes just not a good one. Only Hey Bulldog is a standout with the others decent but nothing noteworthy. GM's orchestral score is a nice relaxing listen but not anything worth checking out.

I have actually cut up both MMT and YS and placed the songs within their relevant album era's and taking the MMT ep track order (Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane have to be with Pepper). However have placed the Songtrack remixes alongside GM's pieces and the 5.1 surround mixes in their own album. Dull but true.

Re the ep title name, would agree on the name being Songs from the movie Yellow Submarine ...
