The Two Sides of the Smothers Brothers (released September 1, 1962 on Mercury Records) is the second comedy album by the Smothers Brothers. Side 1 (tracks 1-6) consisted of comedy and was recorded at The Crystal Palace in St. Louis during a live performance. Side 2 (tracks 7-12) was recorded at the Bell Sound Studios in New York City with a full orchestra and represented the singing side of the boys. The Two Sides of the Smothers Brothers reached number 26 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.

According to the liner notes to their compilation album Sibling Revelry: The Best of the Smothers Brothers, The Two Sides of the Smothers Brothers was the biggest selling album of their career. It spent sixty-six weeks on the Billboard album chart, and peaked at #26.[1]

According to the book Dangerously Funny, half the album was dedicated to straight music because the duo hadn't yet developed enough new comedy material for a second album. The brothers performed their original act in its entirety on their first album, The Smothers Brothers at the Purple Onion.[2]
