THE BEATLES...Yellow Submarine (1969)
"Yellow Submarine" was released 45 years ago in January 1969. It reached number 2 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. Side 1 is the Beatles, side 2 is music from the movie conducted by George Martin. All 6 songs on side 1 are excellent. George went psychedelic on his 2 tracks, John rocked on his and Paul was rather charming on his track. The other 2 had been previously released, the title track and 'All You Need Is Love.' Side 2 is actually very pleasant listening. Check it out, I recommend it
