BEATLES: MORE SONGS FROM 'REVOLVER' DELUXE SET RELEASED (Listen)

The Beatles have released two more songs ahead of next Friday's deluxe edition of their seventh album, 1966's Revolver.

The first is a "Second Version / Unnumbered Mix" of Paul McCartney's "Got to Get You Into My Life," with the guitar filling the spots that would later be replaced with horns -- the first Beatles songs to feature brass.

The second song is one long credited to Paul. But, as the "Songwriting Work Tape Part 1" reveals, "Yellow Submarine" is truly a collaboration between him and John Lennon as Lennon is the one who wrote the melody and opening lines, while McCartney says he came up with the yellow submarine idea.

Ringo Starr sang "Yellow Submarine," and among those singing background and adding sound effects were George Harrison's wife, Pattie BoydMarianne Faithfull, producer George Martin, and Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones.

Two years later, the song would inspire and provide the title to the band's animated film.
