The Beau Brummels, Volume 2 is the second studio album by the American rock group the Beau Brummels. Released in August 1965, the album contains the U.S. top 40 hit "You Tell Me Why"[2] and follow-up single "Don't Talk to Strangers."
The album was produced by Sylvester Stewart, later known as Sly Stone, although his involvement, according to lead singer Sal Valentino and guitarist-songwriter Ron Elliott, had diminished to the point the band does not recall any producer being in charge.[3]
Volume 2, unlike the band's debut, Introducing the Beau Brummels, failed to chart on the Billboard 200. The album's lack of commercial success has been linked to the band's label, Autumn Records, verging on collapse at the time of the album's release,[4] leading to a lack of distribution and promotion of the band's material.[3][5]
