Shangri-Las-65! is the second album by the Shangri-Las. Released in late 1965, it serves as the follow-up album to Leader of the Pack, which was released earlier in the year.
The original pressing of the album contains the hits singles "Out in the Streets" and "Give Us Your Blessings". The second pressing includes the hit "I Can Never Go Home Anymore", and excludes the album track "The Dum Dum Ditty". The second pressing was later repackaged and re-released as I Can Never Go Home Anymore.
