COMMENTARY
This 2 LP set contained the soundtrack of the U.S. version of Yellow Submarine. Two rarities were featured here: a short a cappella version of Think For Yourself (recorded at EMI on November 8, 1965) and an edited version of It’s All Too Much, that included an extra verse not available on the officially released version. Both of these tracks were later released in more complete form in the 1980s.
RELEASES
1. March 1974 (photo below the title). The first issue of this record was released with blank white labels, usually one of these had faint reddish dots, probably used to differentiate the two records, and the inner sleeve was in brown paper. The cartoon by J. Fish was printed on the back cover, and the slipsheet with a drawing by D'Anunzio was printed in black on yellow paper.
1974. The records pressed in early summer, 1974 had green labels with black pirate and the insert was printed in "rainbow" colors. The jacket again had the J. Fish cartoon.
1975-1976. The same insert was used in 1975 and 1976 for the further pressings. In early 1975 some records had the first disc with the King Kong and the second disc with the small Godzilla labels with Side 3 and Side 4 indications. Other copies, however, had the King Kong labels on both records. Throughout 1975, however, copies with plain white labels were distributed.
In 1986, the red label with black pirate were used for the final repressings.
INTEREST. All the Cinelogues were much sought-after items when they first appeared, since it was possible to have the recordings of the films. The first pressing has a good value for collectors (***), while the repressing are less interesting (**/*).
