This is part two of Beatles for Sale with some tracks from the UK Help! and two Non-UK album tracks along for the ride (including the priceless Yes It Is). All and all this is about on par with Beatles '65.

Capitol strikes again, using the remaining six tracks from Beatles for Sale, four newly recorded songs (two of them covers of Larry Williams hits), and the B-side of a single, to create another "new" Beatles album. — William Ruhlmann
