The Beatles second LP With The Beatles stayed at the top of the UK album chart for five months. It again mixes original Beatles' compositions with recent covers. It maintained the excellent standard of its predecessor but contained no new musical development. A classic album, the songs were enormously influential as they formed the basis of The Beatles triumphant USA breakthrough early the following year. (UK:1)
"The Lennon-McCartney writing team was gathering steam and beginning to knock out pop classics as if they were pulling them out of thin air."
"With The Beatles both affirmed promise and proclaimed genius. A slew of memorable Lennon/McCartney compositions embraced pop at its most multi-faceted, robust, melancholic, excited and wistful."
"It really is brilliant and better than I remembered. The results were exciting, less restrained pop. The songs are just so catchy and you can see their enduring influence."
"There's a lot of brilliant music here, especially for rock 'n' roll fans."
"This second album by The Beatles is just as good as the first. A magical meld of pop and rock & roll."
"This is the early Beatles at their best and features a selection of cracking original tunes and some really good covers. The whole set is delivered with conviction and bags of raw energy."
"Today's so-called 'boy bands' cannot hold a candle to these guys and all the other great rock/pop bands of the British Invasion of the 1960s. No Beatle album collection is complete without this."
"This is not only one of the best records to come out in 1963, it's one of the best records of all time."
