Because the label copy for the
record was prepared prior to Capitol receiving the master
tapes for the two newly recorded songs, Long Tall Sally and
I Call Your Name, the labels to the first pressings do not
list the times for these songs. In fact, except for a few
scarce variations, later pressings are also missing the
times for these songs even though the information was
available. The initial stereo labels are also missing running times for Long Tall Sally and I Call Your Name and list ASCAP as the performing rights organization for I Call Your Name. |

Most of the labels for the
album show the running time for You Canft Do That as 2:33.

The Beatles' Second Album is the
Beatles' second Capitol Records album, and their third album
released in the United States including Introducing... The
Beatles released three months earlier on Vee-Jay Records.
The Beatles' Second Album replaced Meet the Beatles! at
number one on the album charts in the US. The white front cover to "The Beatles' Second Album" , which was also designed by George Osaki, features a layout of sepia-tinted photographs of the band. There are two group shots: one posing in front of a curtain at The Ed Sullivan Show and one from the Kennedy airport press conference. All photos were taken by Joe Covello and licensed through Black Star. The initial slicks have the group's name in a brownish red and the song titles in dark green. Later slicks have "THE BEATLES" in bright red and the song titles in olive green. The black and white back liner also features photographs of the band. Four of the pictures feature Ed Sullivan Show performances. Three is also a performance shot from the Washington Coliseum concert. The minor color variation among covers is due to the front slicks being prepared by differeint printers. Front slicks were printed on: 1-1) East Coast: Queens Litho in New York 1-2) East Coast: Ivy Hill Lithograph Co. in New York 2) West Coast: Bert-Co Enterprise of Los Angeles. When "The Beatles' Second Album" was originally issued, Capitol had factories in 1) Scranton, Pensylvania 2) Los Angeles, California 3) In mid. 1965, added a pressing plant in Jacksonville, Illinois. (Stereo Only) The lower portion of the back liner contains "MADE IN U.S.A. • FACTORIES: SCRANTON, PA. - LOS ANGELES, CALIF." and the RIAA (Record Industry Association of America" logo. Most of the back liners have a small numeral located near the lower right or left corner. These numbers were used by Capitol to identify where the album cover was manufactured. Capitol did not fabricate its own album covers. Capitol required the cover manufacturer to place a factory identification number on the back liners. The fabricators added a small number, usually in the lower right corner. The following tables detail the cover numbers that are known to exist: Compiled by Frank Daniels in 2012 The Beatles' Second Album (S)T-2080
The original issue Capitol albums were manufactured with black label backdrops with an outer rim colorband. Label copy information specific to each album appears in silver print. The labels for records manufactured on: 1) The East Coast were printed by Keystone Printed Specialties, Inc. in Scranton, Pensylvania. 2) The West Coast were printed by Bert-Co Enterprises in Los Angeles, California. There are East Coast and West Coast label variations. 1-1) The initial stereo labels are also missing running times for Long Tall Sally and I Call Your Name and list ASCAP as the performing rights organization for I Call Your Name. (East Coast and West Coast) 1-2) Most of the labels for the album show the running time for You Canft Do That as 2:33. Some of the first East Coast labels have a typo listing the time for the song as 2:23. (East Coast only) 2-1) The printer for the East Coast stereo label changed BMI to ASCAP after "You Can't Do That" on side-1(?) 2-2) Subsequent stereo labels are inconsistent. After Capitol obtained the master tapes for Long Tall Sally and I Call Your Name, it added the running times for the songs. There are East Coast labels with running times for Long Tall Sally and I Call Your Name. (East Coast only) 3-1) When BMI replaced ASCAP for I Call Your Name, Capitol once again revised its label copy. The printer for the East Coast stereo label not only changed ASCAP to BMI after I Call Your Name, but also dropped the running time for the song. Thus, this variation has the time for Long Tall Sally, but not I Call Your Name. (East Coast only) 3-2) Some of these labels have a typo, with the latter track mistakenly shown as I Call You Name. (East Coast only) 4) Later pressings of the album list BMI for I Call Your Name and do not have running times for either Long Tall Sally or I Call Your Name. Unlike the West Coast first pressing, the stereo version of this final variation has centered label copy and gSTEREOh spaced loosely. (West Coast only) 5) There is also an in-house Jacksonville stereo version with small print used for the album title and band member names. There are two typesetting variations of the Jacksonville labels. 5-1) Earlier labels have all information set close to the center hole whereas. 5-2) later labels have a large gap between the information above and below the center hole. |

(East Coast only) 3-1) When BMI replaced ASCAP for I Call Your Name, Capitol once again revised its label copy. The printer for the East Coast stereo label not only changed ASCAP to BMI after I Call Your Name, but also dropped the running time for the song. Thus, this variation has the time for Long Tall Sally, but not I Call Your Name. (East Coast only) 3-2) Some of these labels have a typo, with the latter track mistakenly shown as I Call You Name. (East Coast only) 4) Later pressings of the album list BMI for I Call Your Name and do not have running times for either Long Tall Sally or I Call Your Name. Unlike the West Coast first pressing, the stereo version of this final variation has centered label copy and gSTEREOh spaced loosely. (West Coast only) 5) There is also an in-house Jacksonville stereo version with small print used for the album title and band member names. There are two typesetting variations of the Jacksonville labels. 5-1) Earlier labels have all information set close to the center hole whereas. 5-2) later labels have a large gap between the information above and below the center hole. |

The Beatles' Second Album is the
Beatles' second Capitol Records album, and their third album
released in the United States including Introducing... The
Beatles released three months earlier on Vee-Jay Records.
The Beatles' Second Album replaced Meet the Beatles! at
number one on the album charts in the US. The white front cover to "The Beatles' Second Album" , which was also designed by George Osaki, features a layout of sepia-tinted photographs of the band. There are two group shots: one posing in front of a curtain at The Ed Sullivan Show and one from the Kennedy airport press conference. All photos were taken by Joe Covello and licensed through Black Star. The initial slicks have the group's name in a brownish red and the song titles in dark green. Later slicks have "THE BEATLES" in bright red and the song titles in olive green. The black and white back liner also features photographs of the band. Four of the pictures feature Ed Sullivan Show performances. Three is also a performance shot from the Washington Coliseum concert. The minor color variation among covers is due to the front slicks being prepared by differeint printers. Front slicks were printed on: 1-1) East Coast: Queens Litho in New York 1-2) East Coast: Ivy Hill Lithograph Co. in New York 2) West Coast: Bert-Co Enterprise of Los Angeles. When "The Beatles' Second Album" was originally issued, Capitol had factories in 1) Scranton, Pensylvania 2) Los Angeles, California 3) In mid. 1965, added a pressing plant in Jacksonville, Illinois. (Stereo Only) The lower portion of the back liner contains "MADE IN U.S.A. • FACTORIES: SCRANTON, PA. - LOS ANGELES, CALIF." and the RIAA (Record Industry Association of America" logo. Most of the back liners have a small numeral located near the lower right or left corner. These numbers were used by Capitol to identify where the album cover was manufactured. Capitol did not fabricate its own album covers. Capitol required the cover manufacturer to place a factory identification number on the back liners. The fabricators added a small number, usually in the lower right corner. The following tables detail the cover numbers that are known to exist: Compiled by Frank Daniels in 2012 The Beatles' Second Album (S)T-2080
The original issue Capitol albums were manufactured with black label backdrops with an outer rim colorband. Label copy information specific to each album appears in silver print.
