Haymans Green is a 2008 album by the Pete Best Band, released by Lightyear Entertainment and distributed in the US and Canada by EMI. Pete Best plays drums, and co-wrote most of the tracks.
Hayman's Green is the street in West Derby, Liverpool, where Best's mother Mona ran the Casbah Coffee Club.
The ripped image of the drummer on the cover is in reference to the "Anthology 1" illustration by artist Klaus Voormann. This fragment was removed from the "This is the [sic]…The Savage Young Beatles" grey market album cover of 1965 to show Ringo Starr's face from the "Please Please Me" photoshoot instead. Best and fellow beatle Stuart Sutcliffe appear elsewhere on the cover.
Reviews of the album have been mostly favourable, and have described the sound as being influenced by the Beatles with whom Best played between 1960 and 1962.
All tracks written by Pete Best, Roag Best, Phil Melia and Paul Parry, except where noted.
