Beatlesque by Mitch Benn

A collection of some of the more consciously Beatles-ish songs I've recorded over the years, NOT including the ones that were either created for or ended up in the show Mitch Benn is the 37th Beatle; those ones have an album to themselves.

I've arranged these not in the order in which they were composed and recorded but rather in "chronobeatlogical" order; the early "monochrome" Beatles pastiches come first, the psychedelic Beatles parodies next and we end with a few nods to individual Beatles' solo output.

(If you like, think of tracks 1 to 6 as The Red Album and tracks 7 to 12 as The Blue Album...)

I expect I'll continue to write Beatley songs in future; I may add the good ones to this album (watch for messages).
