The Beatles' Second Album was the Beatles' second Capitol Records release. It was their third in the United States counting Introducing... The Beatles, released on Vee-Jay Records.
Songs for this album were compiled from four different UK releases. Side one has five of the six remaining tracks from the group's second British LP With the Beatles. Those songs were left off of the previous Capitol album Meet the Beatles!. Also included were "Thank You Girl" (the B-side to the British single "From Me to You"), the single "She Loves You" / "I'll Get You", "You Can't Do That" from the A Hard Day's Night soundtrack in the UK, and two new songs, "Long Tall Sally" and "I Call Your Name," both released a month later in the UK on the Long Tall Sally EP.
The Beatles' Second Album went to number one on the album charts in the U.S., knocking off Meet the Beatles!, the first time an artist replaced itself at number one on the album charts.[1]
In 2004 this album re-was released for the first time on CD as part of The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 box set.
