Perhaps the Beatles didn’t have enough songs to fill an album. Both Yellow Submarine and All You Need Is Love are re-used. Only A Northern Song was a leftover from Sgt. Pepper ’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Unlike previous films, Yellow Submarine was made with the intent of mainly using previously released songs with 4 new songs. These 4 new songs were actually songs deemed unsuitable for a major Beatles release, hence why Only A Northern Song is in the film despite being a Sgt. Pepper outtake and why they didn't have enough songs to fill an album.
They could've made a full album had they included the 7 previously released songs featured in the film or if Capitol did what they did with Magical Mystery Tour .
As for Yellow Submarine and All You Need Is Love being re-used, YS is re-used because it's the title track and AYNIL hadn't been on a UK album (MMT was released as a double EP in the UK), which is probably why it was released here.

I don't mind the original Yellow Submarine album as I like the George Martin score but as a Beatles album it is a little bit of a cop out.
As I mentioned above I think they could have done a really weird but fun album using the four new/unreleased songs plus dialogue from the film, parts of George Martin's score, and maybe even a remix of the Yellow Submarine song just to make it different from the version on Revolver .
Otherwise a version like the American Magical Myster Tour could have been done as well which contains Lady Madonna , The Inner Light , Hey Jude and Revolution .

Yes and No. Revolver may have had those crazy songs, like Tomorrow Never Knows , Love You To , Tax Man, but it lacked that psychedelic color for me.
But yes, it is partially psychedelic.

The problem with Yellow Submarine is, not only isn't it a proper Beatles album, it isn't even a proper soundtrack album to the animated film. So it just should have been a full soundtrack album with all the songs and the score, similar to the 1999 Yellow Submarine Songtrack , and it would serve as a film-related compilation just like so many movies have their own soundtrack albums, but it wouldn't be a canonical Beatles album, in the sense that there would be no songs that are nowhere else available in the "official" Beatles canon.
Only A Northern Song and It's All Too Much would be on Magical Mystery Tour , OANS as the second track between MMT and Fool on the Hill and IATM as the grand after-finale after the finale of All You Need Is Love . I've tried this 13-songs tracklist before and it sounds beautiful.
Hey Bulldog would be a single. There were only two single releases in 1968 with Lady Madonna / The Inner Light and later Hey Jude / Revolution . So I'd release Hey Bulldog sometimes in early summer. It could be a Double A with Across The Universe , but even better would be to leave Across The Universe Wildlife for the charity compilation (and Past Masters ) and have Sour Milk Sea as the B-Side of Hey Bulldog .
And in autumn, some time after the Hey Jude / Revolution single and leading up to the White Album there would be one more single: Not Guilty / All Together Now !
The White Album stays untouched.
Everybody's happy.

How isn't it a proper soundtrack album? It contains 6/11 (7/11 on the US tape releases) of the Beatles songs featured entirely (or almost entirely) in the film and 7/8 of the instrumental pieces (albeit they're all re-recorded), which leads to a score of 13/19. Not to mention, the songs are in a similar order to how they appear in the film.
Hey Bulldog would be a single. There were only two single releases in 1968 with Lady Madonna / The Inner Light and later Hey Jude / Revolution . So I'd release Hey Bulldog sometimes in early summer. It could be a Double A with Across The Universe , but even better would be to leave Across The Universe Wildlife for the charity compilation (and Past Masters ) and have Sour Milk Sea as the B-Side of Hey Bulldog .
Better yet, have Lady Madonna and Hey Bulldog as a double A-side, those two fit perfectly together. Then, turn the Hey Jude album into this:
Hey Jude :
Side A:
You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)
Side B:
