On this day, the Beatles recorded their cameo appearance for the animated film “Yellow Submarine,” which was featured at the end to introduce the song “All Together Now.”

Images from this visit at Twickenham Film Studios were incorporated into “Yellow Submarine Mod Odyssey,” a brief documentary on the making of “Yellow Submarine,” released in 1968.


I thought it was a mistake to have them live at the end, because then you confuse the live and the drawing. You know how movie companies are. The contract said The Beatles would give you one day. Now, if you had The Beatles at your disposal for one day, would you film them or wouldn’t you? And if you have The Beatles on film, would you use it or wouldn’t you?

If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
