Press release:

This July marks the 50th anniversary of our animated classic film, Yellow Submarine.

On its release in 1968, Yellow Submarine was instantly recognised as a landmark achievement. The film combined pioneering animation techniques, dazzling visual invention, witty dialogue and of course glorious music.

As part of the celebrations, we are releasing this picture disc of the title song, Yellow Submarine b/w Eleanor Rigby, which together was originally released as the band’s 13th single in August 1966.

From Limited edition Yellow Submarine picture disc single to be released – The Beatles Bible:
