"The Beatles' 2nd Album" Sealed Album

"The Beatles' 2nd Album" Sealed Album.

"The Beatles' Second Album" is the second Capitol Records album by the band, and their third album released in the United States including "Introducing... The Beatles," which was issued three months earlier by Vee-Jay Records. Following its release in April 1964, "The Beatles' Second Album" replaced "Meet the Beatles!" at number 1 on the Billboard Top LPs chart in the US. The album was compiled mostly from leftover tracks from the UK album With the Beatles and Long Tall Sally EP, which are predominantly rock and roll and R&B covers, and rounded out with several Lennon-McCartney-penned non-album B-sides and the hit single "She Loves You". Among critics, it is considered the band's purest rock and roll album and praised for its soulful takes on both contemporary black music hits and original material.

Presented here is an original copy of the album, complete in its original shrink-wrapped seal.

Condition: Excellent.

Authentication: Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
