Greatest Hits Volume 2 (Beatles album) Greatest Hits Volume 2 (Beatles album) Greatest Hits Volume 2 is a greatest hits compilation album by The Beatles which was exclusive to Australia. The album was compiled by EMI Australia to fill in the gap between "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". The compilation and its predecessor were both originally conceived in early 1966, when EMI Australia requested stereo tapes from their UK branch for tracks not already in the Australian vaults. This meant the album contains the original 1965 stereo mixes of "Day Tripper" and "We Can Work It Out" rather than the new stereo mixes
Breakfast with the Beatles program directors at other stations picked up the idea and variations on a Beatles-themed programming block appeared throughout the US. The concept proved a good fit for morning programming (particularly on weekends) and so the "Breakfast" name, or a variant, was often used. The all-Beatles format was further popularized by such nationally syndicated programs as "Ticket to Ride", hosted by Scott Muni in the 1980s. Radio stations which feature, or have featured a "Breakfast with the Beatles" program include: WXRT in Chicago, WMGK in Philadelphia, WGRF in Buffalo, WMXJ in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, KMET in Los Angeles, KLSX in Los Angeles,
