The first album had been a big success, and a second was needed for the Xmas market in 1963.
The Beatles had been touring, performing on tv and busy.
The album followed the pattern of the first. Fourteen tracks, six covers and eight originals.
It’s a fine album. All My Loving is on here, Money (That’s What I Want), It Won’t Be Long are here and stand out. Boys, Till There Was You and Don’t Bother Me are not a good fit.
But it’s fine. And it sold in bucket loads.
