AmE Question 2
I was struggling with how to punctuate these per AmE standards. Do these look all right?
1) “Are You a Doctor?”—the fifth story in Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?—treats modern love.
2). All the band’s soundtracks—A Hard Day’s Night, Help!, Yellow Submarine, and Magical Mystery Tour—were popular.
3). The album’s first single, “Do You Realize?”, features a lush arrangement, and it comes from the band's debut CD Equanimity of Spirits.
Thank you.

But CD/album titles are normally italicized; individual song titles from an album are enclosed in quotation marks.

Sorry, I could have been more clear. I meant use double quotation marks (AmE) instead of singles (BrE). The italics are fine.
