With the Beatles was The Beatles' second album, recorded four months after the band's first album and released in late 1963.

The album features eight original compositions (including the first by George Harrison: "Don't Bother Me") and six covers, mostly of Motown and R&B hits. The album was released in the United States as Meet the Beatles! on January 20 1964. The U.S. release featured a "fake stereo" mix, added the single "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "I Saw Her Standing There" (from Please Please Me), and "This Boy" and omitted "Please Mister Postman", "Roll Over Beethoven", "You Really Got A Hold On Me", "Devil In Her Heart", and "Money".
