On the other hand, The Beatles had at that time four finished songs that remained unissued: Only a Northern Song, All Together Now, It's All Too Much and Hey Bulldog (the first three recorded in 1967 and the last in 1968). They were then used in the film (although Hey Bulldog was removed after the premiere) and, although an EP of this songs was cogitated, it was decided to make a new album, including some old songs that also appeared on the film (the title track and All You Need Is Love) and instrumental tracks by George Martin, that fill side 2.
The instrumental side is rarely mentioned by Beatles enthusiasts, as
of course isn't a Beatles record!
But Pepperland is a familiar song
even to non-Beatles fans. It became known again in Brazil in 1989,
in an electric guitar arrangement by Robertinho do Recife, one of
the best Brazilian guitar players.
Also, these tracks include Beatles references, the more evident is
Yellow Submarine in Pepperland, an instrumental arrangement for
Yellow Submarine. There is also a quotation from
Within You Without You (in Sea of Time),
and, in the best Beatles style, backwards sounds.
This album features the return of long sleeve notes, abandoned after
Beatles For Sale. But instead of describing
the album, the text is actually a review of the White Album.
In Brazil, it was again translated.
As the text is full of quotations
from White Album songs, translation made them hard to associate,
so I made a quotation reference file.
The old issues (non-remastered) have the title in Portuguese on the disc label: Trilha Sonora do Filme Submarino Amarelo.
