DVD/BLU-RAY
The Beatles' animated 'Yellow Submarine' restored
The Beatles' battle to save Pepperland from the Blue Meanies has been digitally restored and is available again on home video. The band's groundbreaking animated film Yellow Submarine (1968, Capitol, G, $22; Blu-ray, $35) has been long out of print (it was last released on DVD in 1999). The George Dunning-directed film â€" based on the Lennon-McCartney song of the same name â€" finds John, Paul, George and Ringo using the power of peace, love and music to fend off an invading army led by a Flying Glove. Bonus features include a documentary Mod Odyssey, the original theatrical trailer, 29 pencil drawings and 30 behind-the-scenes photos. There are also reproductions of animation cels, collectible stickers and a 16-page booklet. The reissue of the Yellow Submarine soundtrack is also out on CD. â€" Jones

DVD
Stay 'Up All Night' with One Direction DVD
One Direction's American tour has shows booked deep into 2013. If you're not in Detroit and Chicago for this weekend's concerts by the British boy-band sensations, then the new Up All Night: The Live Tour DVD (Columbia, $17) will have to tide you over. Filmed in January in Bournemouth, England, the in-concert DVD includes several songs that don't appear on the group's Up All Night album, including covers of the Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling and the Natalie Imbruglia hit Torn. The package also contains an eight-minute short film and videos for Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn's hits One Thing, Gotta Be You and What Makes You Beautiful. â€" Mansfield
REISSUE
The Supremes 'At the Copa,' remastered
The Supremes' 1965 debut at the Copacabana was historic on several levels: The famed girl group was among the first few African-American acts to appear at the legendary New York nightclub, and the resulting recording, The Supremes Live at the Copa, was the only live album that the group released featuring the lineup of Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson. Now that celebrated album has been re-released in an expanded two-CD edition. The first disc includes the original 15 tracks, remastered, and 10 previously unreleased mono mixes; the second is a 21-track composite, featuring newly available performances. â€" Gardner
BOX SET
Plantation compilation goes to 'Harper Valley' and beyond
Plantation Records had its biggest hit early with Jeannie C. Riley's multimillion-selling 1968 smash Harper Valley P.T.A., but the independent Nashville label kept going into the early '80s, releasing late-career records from Grand Ole Opry stars like Webb Pierce, Hank Locklin, Jimmy C. Newman and Charlie Walker and giving future Americana legends Jimmie Dale Gilmore and The Flatlanders their start. The six-volume Plantation Records: The Singles Set compiles those records and more, including Terry Nelson's controversial 1971 hit Battle Hymn of Lt. Calley and oddities like actress Barbara Eden's Harper Valley knockoff Widow Jones. Each volume runs $7.99 for 20 tracks. â€" Mansfield
