Limelight Editions is very pleased to announce publication of the minute-by-minute, drink-by-drink, pop-by-pop, snort-by-snort, behind-the-scenes madcap memoir of the making of this animation classic, by the film's producer and co-writer, Al Brodax: UP PERISCOPE YELLOW: The Making of The Beatles Yellow Submarine. London Pavilion, Piccadilly Circus, JA screaming crowd 10,000 strong.George, Ringo, Paul and John (and Yoko Ono in her first public appearance with The Beatles).Mick, Keith, Charlie, Bill and Brian, known collectively and infamously as The Rolling Stones.Marianne Faithful.James Margaret and her royal entourage.and Al Broda - in attendance, all, for the world premier of Yellow Submarine. Now armed with songs and love, they rout the Blue Meanies in a battle royal and convert them into peaceful citizens, thereby restoring life, color, music, and love to Pepperland. Disguising themselves as one of the Meanies' giant Apple Bonkers, they infiltrate a compound where all the musical instruments have been stored. After picking up the little Nowhere Man, they are propelled by an enormous sneeze through the sea of holes into occupied Pepperland. Setting off in the yellow submarine, the five adventurers embark on a 'modyssey' that carries them through many strange realms: the sea of time, the sea of science, the sea of monsters, the sea of green, and the sea of holes. Upon arriving in Liverpool, Old Fred encounters Ringo and recruits the other Beatles (John, Paul, and George) to help save Pepperland. Old Fred, the conductor of the band, escapes to the Lord Mayor, who sends him for help in a yellow submarine. On a peaceful day in the happy kingdom of Pepperland, a concert by Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is interrupted by an invasion of the Blue Meanies, a horde of music-hating ogres who drain their victims of color with Splotch Guns and render them immobile by pelting them on their heads with huge green apples.
