Only a Northern Song is a song written by George Harrison and performed by The Beatles. The song was recorded in 1967 during the sessions for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band but was omitted from that album. It was first featured in the Beatles' 1968 animated movie Yellow Submarine and appeared on its soundtrack album, released early the following year.
"Only a Northern Song" has been described as Harrison's "personal denunciation of the Beatles' music publishing business".
Exellent info, Rich. The "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack is the first Beatles record (YES, vinyl) I ever bought. On the Apple label, no less. Wish I had the LP sleeve though.
