With the Beatles

22 November 1963ParlophoneUKGeorge Martin

Issued on the day John F. Kennedy was buried, the second album mixed eight originals with Motown and rock-and-roll covers. Robert Freeman’s half-shadowed cover photograph became the template for the US Meet the Beatles!

Territorial note

Capitol’s Meet the Beatles! (January 1964) kept the cover concept but swapped in the ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ single and dropped most of the R&B covers, which appeared instead on The Beatles’ Second Album.
