Story & Background
"The Beatles' Second Album", released by Capitol in 1964 and here in its first pressing, represents a fundamental, albeit controversial, chapter in the American discography of the Fab Four. Capitol, capitalising on the impetuous wave of Beatlemania, astutely assembled this record not as a direct successor to the British works, but as a clever patchwork of tracks extracted from various sources. Its tracklist, in fact, strategically gathered five songs from the recent "With The Beatles" not yet available in the USA, three tracks from the British EP "Long Tall Sally" (including the iconic title-track and "I Call Your Name"), and even the B-side of the single "Can't Buy Me Love", namely "You Can't Do That". This peculiar selection, combined with Capitol's typical sonic re-workings, often featuring a marked reverb and the infamous "Duophonic" conversions for stereo on originally mono tracks, created a radically different listening experience from the English original. Unique and immediately recognisable, this edition indelibly defined the "American sound" of The Beatles for millions of fans, becoming a discographic icon of its time and remaining today an essential vinyl for the collector wishing to explore the intricate and fascinating transatlantic divergences of their vast catalogue.
