BEATLES "YELLOW SUBMARINE"

ORIGINAL UK APPLE ULTRA RARE MONO 1ST PRESSING

RELEASED JANUARY 17TH 1969 "YELLOW SUBMARINE" WAS THE SOUNDTRACK TO THE FILM OF THE SAME NAME AND THIS IS THOUGHT TO BE THE FIRST FILM EVER TO BE BASED ON A SONG. THE STORYLINE IS BASED AROUND THE "YELLOW SUBMARINE" SONG AND "SGT PEPPERS LONLEY HEARTS CLUB BAND".

BY 1969 MONO WAS VERY QUICKLY BEEN PHASED OUT IN FAVOUR OF STEREO AND BY NOW MOST NEW ALBUM RELEASES WHERE ONLY ISSUED IN STEREO, HOWEVER A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF "YELLOW SUBMARINE" WHERE ISSUED AS MONO VERSIONS AND ALTHOUGH THE EXACT NUMBER IS UNKNOWN IT IS KNOWN THAT THESE NUMBERS WHERE VERY SMALL.

MONO VERSIONS OF THIS APPLE RELEASE ARE NOW EXTREMLEY HARD TO FIND AND ARE VERY VERY SOUGHT AFTER.
