Haymans Green * The Pete Best Band

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! It's true. The Pete Best Band are to be releasing their first official studio album of original compositions entitled Haymans Green. And for the first time in his extensive career as a musician and drummer, Best played an active role in the recording of this long overdue musical presentation.

Recording began in the Casbah Club studio back in 2005. It's been an arduous process for the lads, but they painstakingly wanted to arrange and produce a quality album for the legions of Fab fans who would demand no less than perfection from the Pete Best Band. Pete's musical statement will be heard the globe over.

Drumming brothers Pete and Roag Best laid the foundation for the new PBB studio album. Guitarist Phil Melia, bassist Paul Parry and guitarist Tony Flynn all played key roles in writing and singing these exciting new PBB compositions. The musical themes of Haymans Green are based upon a biographical storyline of the Best Family.

What makes 2008 a most interesting year is that although Pete is not necessarily competing with his fellow Fabs, Ringo Starr released Liverpool 8 in January, and Paul McCartney is rumored to be releasing London Undersound sometime in 2008 as well. Certainly, Haymans Green deserves to generate its fair share of media saturation to reach the hands and ears of the public.

John Lennon's Quarrymen opened the Casbah Coffee Club on August 29, 1959. Mona Best envisioned the popular Liverpool venue in the basement of the family home. Pete Best soon joined as the drummer for The Blackjacks, which became the houseband. After rehabilitating the building, the Casbah Club is now open to the public for tours.

A major renovation was the installation of a recording studio in the Casbah Club. Besides the Pete Best Band, three other artists have been recording in the basement studio as well. Creating personal music in his childhood home has to be an emotional experience for Pete Best. Give this disc a spin.
