The inevitable rise | The History of With The Beatles | Classic Albums

After the success of Please Please Me, and after achieving the best-selling single in the history of the United Kingdom with She Loves You, The Beatles began an inevitable rise. They had conquered the European market. In the UK, after singing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance, they had established their prestige as a youth sensation, and all eyes were on their second album. Less improvised and with more time to record, With The Beatles combined the success formula of Please Please Me: original recordings and some routine covers for the band. The album helped the band's target. With half a million sales pre-ordered and I Want To Hold Your Hand as a single on the side, the beatles would open the way for their next goal: Succeeding in America.
