(“with the beatles” is the 2nd studio album by the english rock band ‘the beatles’)
.
(it was released on 22 November 1963, on Parlophone, and was recorded four months after the band’s debut Please Please Me)
(the album features 8 original compositions (seven by Lennon–McCartney and “Don’t Bother Me”, George Harrison’s first recorded solo composition and his first released on a Beatles album) and 6 covers (mostly of Motown, rock and roll, and R&B hits))
(the cover photograph was taken by the fashion photographer ‘Robert Freeman’, and it has been mimicked by several music groups over the years)
(the album became the 1st Beatles album released in North America when it was released in Canada on 25 November under the augmented title Beatlemania! With the Beatles, with additional text on the album cover, and issued only in mono at the time, catalogue number T 6051 (a stereo Canadian release would come in 1968, catalogue number ST 6051))
(“With The Beatles” was unevenly “split” over the group’s first two Capitol albums in the United States; nine tracks were issued on Meet the Beatles! (the eight original compositions plus “Till There Was You”), and the remaining five, all “covers”, were placed on “The Beatles’ Second Album”)
(the LP had advance orders of a half million and sold another half million by September 1965, making it the second album to sell a million copies in the United Kingdom, after the soundtrack to the 1958 film “South Pacific”)
(“With the Beatles” remained at the top of the charts for 21 weeks, displacing Please Please Me, so that the Beatles occupied the top spot for 51 consecutive weeks)
(it even reached number 11 in the “singles charts” (because at the time UK charts counted all records sold, regardless of format))
(EMI Australia did not receive the cover art, and used different shots of the band in a similar style to the black-and-white photograph on other releases)
(‘the beatles’ were unaware of this until fans showed them the cover during their only Australian tour, and informed the EMI publicity staff that they were not pleased with the substitution)
(on 26 February 1987, With the Beatles was officially released on compact disc (in mono only, catalogue number CDP 7 46436 2))
(having been available only as an import in the US in the past, the album was also issued domestically in the US on LP and cassette on 21 July 1987)
(along with the rest of the Beatles’ canon, it was re-released on CD in newly re-mastered stereo and mono versions on 9 September 2009)
.
(the album was ranked #420 on rolling stone magazine’s list of “the 500 greatest albums of all-time” in 2003, and was included in robert dimery’s “1001 albums you must hear before you die”)
