Mostly a waste of time, I'm sorry to say. Two songs are available on other albums, and half the record is George Martin's instrumental score for the film. That leaves just four new songs, which aren't really that great except to fans.

Kids, and having fun.

"Only A Northern Song", a Sgt. Pepper outtake and George's wry comment on churning out material for his publisher. "Hey Bulldog" is a fantastic chunk of rock.

"All Together Now" is rather silly. I never listen to Martin's score, quite honestly, although it's well done.

There's really not enough new and exciting on here for anyone but Beatles collectors.

You might want to get the "Yellow Submarine Songtrack" instead, if you just want all the songs from the film.
