Yellow Submarine
Answer
Yellow Submarine
Which Beatles album includes Harrison's song “Only a Northern Song”? The answer is Yellow Submarine.
George Harrison wrote the song while the Beatles were working on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Its lyrics reflect Harrison’s frustration with Northern Songs, the publishing company that controlled Beatles compositions and from which he felt he received an unfair share. The recording’s distorted organ, trumpet, glockenspiel and studio effects give it an unusually psychedelic sound.
The Beatles initially left the track off Sgt. Pepper, then completed it for the animated film Yellow Submarine. It appeared on the 1969 soundtrack album, alongside three other newly supplied Beatles songs and George Martin’s orchestral score.
A common mix-up is Revolver, since Harrison’s “Love You To” appears on that album and “Only a Northern Song” was recorded during the Sgt. Pepper sessions. The song later received a true stereo remix for Yellow Submarine Songtrack in 1999.
