Depends if you're a collector or not. I'm hunting for a small price, I'll be on ebay for a while now.

I'm not sure, but not sure how life would be without Hey Bulldog

I would buy it as a collector, but other than that, I already have the songs (multiple versions of those on YSS and most Beatles songs, hence why I have 836 on my iPod) so I see no other point to buy it. If they were different versions of the songs, yeah I would definately get it. Oh, and as a side note, a few years ago when I first looked up YSS, I remember reading somewhere that the version of "Yellow Submarine" on YSS had the outtaked spoken intro on it, and I don't remember where I read it, ...

Then there have been re-mixes and re-masterings of each, no?

There was no remaster of Songtrack since one wasn't needed, as the original album was a remix from the original tapes. Much like LIB... Naked hasn't been remastered.

No reissue either. Are we just missing LIBN and Live At The BBC from having a complete download frenzy at itunes or have i missed something out?

Wow, definitely worth buying, especially at that price!

I'd certainly buy it for myself, anyways. It occurs to me that those four YS tracks are the only Beatles tracks I've never owned on CD. Well, not counting the Anthologies or the BBC sessions or any oddities like that.

Yeah, they have reissued YSS with a soft cd case all the remasters came in. I got it for like four dollars at Half-Priced Books a couple years ago.

Does the Songtrack even exist for sale anymore? I thought it would've been allowed to go out of print when the remasters came out.

I've never owned the Songtrack myself, but it is worth hearing. Like Joe said, some of the remixes are better than the remasters of a decade later. (Also, didn't YSS provide the first-ever true stereo version of "Only a Northern Song"?)

I get lost with the various versions.

There are two basic versions: the original (the one that's half orchestral music) and the Yellow Submarine 2.0 that includes all the songs in the movie minus the orchestral stuff.

I bought the YSS album last month - I'd never had it before. Some of the remixes sound a lot punchier than even the 2009 remasters. Hey Bulldog, for instance. I wish the Abbey Road guys would remix the whole back catalogue - they could do some amazing things with it.
By 'remixing' I mean bring out the instruments, make them shine; not add crappy drums and synths to ruin some perfectly good recordings, like those Love Me Do remixes.

Its the normal regular versions remixed from the original tapes so there are differences in the songs, some work well (Eleanor Rigby) some not so much (Lucy In The Sky). I wouldnt go to the extreme of saying your missing out if you dont have it but then i dont play them that often anyway.

The best thing to come from it all were the 5.1 mixes that allowed for hearing isolated channels and therefore things you'd never otherwise get to hear - Pauls awful amateur trumpet blasts (Only A Northern Song), someone ringing the living daylights out of a bell (All Together Now) ...

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.
