Sing Again with The Chipmunks is The Chipmunks' second album, released by Liberty Records in January 1960. The album follows the same format as their first album, and contains the group's fifth and sixth singles—"Alvin's Orchestra" and "Comin' 'Round the Mountain". Since its initial release, Sing Again with The Chipmunks has appeared twice on CD; both releases utilized the revised 1961 cover artwork, minus the song lyrics printed on the original back cover.

Commercial performance

Sing Again with The Chipmunks was expected to do as well as Let's All Sing with the Chipmunks which peaked at {{thinspace|No.|4}} on Billboard's Pop Albums Chart. Instead, it peaked at {{thinspace|No.|31}}.

Artwork

The original issue of the album depicted three realistic looking chipmunks on the cover sharing space with a photo of David Seville. When the album was reissued one year later, a new cover was substituted, that of an Alvin Show animation cel setup reenacting the poses the original chipmunks and Seville made.

Notes

This album has Alvin's first songwriting credit. The album also marked The Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra's recording debut.
