July 17, 1968 –
The premiere of the drug-induced, Big Blue Meanie-infested cartoon Beatles film Yellow Submarine, was held at the London Pavilion on this date.
The Beatles hated The Beatles, the television cartoon show of them, which was also produced by Al Brodax and George Dunning. When the producers approached them about this movie, the group agreed only as an easy way of completing their movie contract. They contributed a few old songs and four quickly produced numbers: Only a Northern Song, Hey Bulldog, All Together Now, and It’s All Too Much. They were so impressed by the finished movie that they decided to appear in a short live-action epilogue to the movie.
