Considering this isn't technically a new Beatles 'album' and is instead a re-issue of their 1968 animated film without any of them George Martin's classical compositions, it's fucking ace.

The songs that are already on other works such as 'Revolver' and 'Sgt Pepper' are also nice on here too.

I came to this record early in my Beatles listening life and is a record that on the whole is really enjoyable, that I return to on a regular basis.

Essential track - Hey Bulldog
