Sunshine of Your Love played all day long on the radio when I was a freshman in high school. We still could not get enough of the best song ever written in the history of mankind and the universe as we knew it. I remember pounding out the drum parts on the bottom of my desk (good sonic qualities) in history class. This whole album brings back such great memories of my youth. It is filled with good music from the British lads who helped define the phsycadelic(sic) sound. Why were the British so darned talented? Anyway, I highly recommend this album for good old rock and roll lovers and of course, fellow geezers. - Ciao

Brightly colored fun submarine perfect for your baby's bath or even pool or beach time.  Well constructed and easy to grab with tiny hands.  Will bring squeals from Mom and baby alike.  Love it!

I must say, Amazon does not yet have this on DVD but I ordered the English version on DVD that plays in my American DVD player from some company in Russia, the only drawback is that it isn't tracked, you have to sort of fast-forward like a VHS tape. However, I am still glad that I bought it. Yes, there are arguments and the ever-present Yoko (Yucko as I like to call her) but there are some wonderful scenes of the group jamming together, smiling, laughing and just having fun! The tension is at times visible but not overwhelming. Of course, we do see the downside, each one of The Beatles are more individuals at this point, they look different from each other and have distinctly different music styles. Some may be mad at me for this but Paul did seem as though he was trying to take over. However, I will admit that Ringo and George didn't want the decision-making responsibilities and John was falling further into the Yoko-void and losing interest in other things he once cared about.
But as I said, there are some great scenes. For example, the rooftop concert at the end. John and Paul are smiling at each other, joking around and fooling around with some of the songs. Everyone truly looks as if they're enjoying themselves. Even right up to the end The Beatles still had their magic, no fights could ever take away the fact that as musicians, they gelled like no other group ever has before or since! Their coming together for songs like "Don't Let Me Down" "Let it Be" "The Long and Winding Road" "I've Got a Feeling" "Get Back" and John and Paul singing together for "Two of Us" shows that there was still cohesion, combined creativity and joy in the making of their music!
I think this film, along with "A Hard Days Night" "Help!" "Magical Mystery Tour" and "Yellow Submarine" (even though the characters' voices were not their own) are MUST HAVES for anyone who truly likes The Beatles and can appreciate them for being the greatest group of musicians who ever lived!

I love "LOVE" and so will anyone who loves The Beatles. They are the most amazing band in the world. The proof is the song "The Sun King" on the CD is backwards-- originally, just a mistake. But when it was discovered they realized that it was so beautiful they left the song as is! This just proves that their music can be played backwards and it's just as beautiful.

I have many of these albums, CD's and downloads in stereo. We played them side by side vs the mono versions here. We like the Mono versions MUCH better. Of course that is what we owned, and had and listened to in our youth. The sound is true and clear, I love the packaging and memorabilia, I am no expert, just a music and Beatles lover. I am very happy with this set. I was a child when they were introduced to America, 8 years old with my first Transistor Radio, yes I cap that! LOL My mom let me sit up to watch the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and it is a fond memory since my mom just died, to remember the fond moments, the parents sitting on the sofa, making comments as parents did back then about the Beatles, although Elvis was just great! LOL Thanks.

If you're curious about the genesis of the movie Yellow Submarine you're well advised to buy both UP PERISCOPE YELLOW and INSIDE THE YELLOW SUBMARINE.

If you've read other reviews here, you'll know UP PERISCOPE YELLOW is a first person account by the producer, Al Brodax; and INSIDE THE YELLOW SUBMARINE (see my review of this excellent book also) by Dr. Bob Hieronumus, Ph. D., is an anthology of keen insight and probing interviews with a number of core artists whose creative genius built and sailed the Sub into our Collective Consciousness forever.

Each book is written from a different perspective. Until more volumes from Al and Dr. Bob (and even we the crew) are forthcoming, these two vital books will serve as comprehensive 'bookends' for your Yellow Submarine reference shelf.

UP PERSICOPE YELLOW  recaptures those wild, zany, chaotic, heart-racing days of creative frenzy during the Sub's construction. Moreover, Al Brodax's account begins BEFORE the Sub was even a yellow and orange gleam in any of the crew's eyes.  As well as providing a fascinating and hilarious back story of what led to the concept of the movie itself, he accompanies you through the whole process of production from the producer's perspective.

Whether your cinematic interest is animation or live action, this lightning narrative zaps you through high-flying moves, fancy footwork and the 'thinking on your feet' involved in producing a unique feature film; from initial concept to the megastress of rights negotiation, sales, budgets, deadlines, navigating minefields of egos; and out of the chaos, delivering a finished film--even to tweaking the projector controls at the Grand Premiere, with an additionally hilarious account of how to 'imprint' a missing copyright notice on the film emulsion when it's in the projector ready to roll! (You have to read the book to find this one!)

Al's swashbuckling talent with hyperbole lends a 'you are there' breathless excitement and zany hilarity to his recapturing of those 'London '60's Days' on Yellow Submarine.

The book shows a sensitive side, revealing his personal angst, agonies, ecstasies and sorrow involved during the film's production (tragic, early death of a vital and cherished work associate). This will surprise many who believe the stereotype of flinty, unfeeling, humorless producers. Brodax shares his full emotions in this book.

As an aside, we crew were very cramped for desk space at TVC. Fellow animator Tom Halley and I were stationed at animation desks in a small office, which contained a third desk (with phone) that was 'time-shared' by Al Brodax, Abe Goodman and various TVC management personnel. It was a unique perspective as a humble Y.Sub. deckhand-animator,(think: Jack Lemmon's Ensign Pulver in the movie, 'Mister Roberts') occupying a desk beside the officers on the bridge, trying to block out the chaos and concentrate on drawing. It was also a great place to observe firsthand what was involved minute by minute, day by day in the management and production of a classic film. This book gets you even closer, on a wider, 'before, during and after production' timeline.

Another aspect of being a fly at the animation desk on the ceiling syndrome: next door to our small office was an anteroom-more like a broom cupboard, where Jack Stokes and Bob Balser assembled their storyboards, running the sound track with 'workprint' film on a Movieola (editing machine) forward and backward for weeks on end. By the end of production we knew most of the songs forward and backward.

And, by the end of this excellent first-person account by the producer of Yellow Submarine, you'll know what's involved in a production, which itself seemed to be going forward and backward--at the same time--with all the hair-pulling and gnashing of teeth that involved.

A great cinema history book by LIMELIGHT PUBLISHERS; a great write by AL BRODAX; a great read for YOU.

my 1 1/2 and 7 year old both love this and won't stop listening to it on repeat!  it is an honest compromise in music, though, as it is enjoyed by everyone in our family.

I love nearly every single song on both CD's, and that's really saying something considering there are 29 tracks. You definitely feel like you got a great deal considering it is only like fifteen dollars! I love Beatles music so much and loved the movie, so getting to listen to the Beatles - in the arrangement from the movie ... awesome.

I also really appreciated the AutoRip version that came free with purchase, because then it was automatically on my laptop. It was really nice.

I would recommend this to anyone! Especially people who love the movie.

I have seen the Beatles movie "Help!" many times and absolutely adore the music in the film.  I already have these songs so I decided that my girlfriend might appreciate it, and now she can't stop listening.  This is a great album for hardcore Beatles fans and casual fans alike.

Say everything you can about this album.  The second disc is excellent. It's been ten years since I heard special child and it still gives me chills.  The John Lennon song is more than serviceable. The photos in the package are especially pleasing.  Only complaint is the linear notes which seem like an afterthought even though they're written by John Reynolds.  I hope they do this with Lion and the Cobra soon.  I love everyone.

We have been listening to this for nearly 30 years now - and love it as much now as when we first heard it.  It is also a great favorite with all our children.

I take a liking to the old fashioned, kind of like a sweet tooth. I love everything about Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, especially the Seaview. What a cool submarine. Then there's the flying sub and mini-sub. Both great. And Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane are the best. I enjoy the stories that are filled with monsters, phantoms, mad scientists, aliens, or daring rescues. I love underwater adventure, submarines, and frogmen. It's just a great relaxing series to enjoy and even safe for the grand kids.

Although the Beatles are not performing, the Bee Gee's and Peter Frampton do a wonderful job singing the Beatles' songs. Most of the familiar songs are included. My favorites are all on this DVD. My original was VHS and I remember when we watched it as a family it became a sing-a-long. Also performing in the movies were: Steve Martin, George Burns, Billy Preston, Aerosmith, and Earth Wind and Fire. It is an enjoyable movie and has become a favorite of our teenage grandsons, who have heard of, but were born too late to experience the great talents of the original Fab 4.
