Beatlesque II by Mitch Benn
Last spring, I did a trawl of the existing songs on my hard drives and I gathered together as many Beatles songs as I could (not including the ones on the 37th Beatle soundtrack), whereupon, I compiled them into my Beatlesque album.
Then, last summer (shortly after releasing that album), another 564 songs came to light on an unearthed USB stick, many of which I had forgotten existed, and rather than combining them onto the first album, I decided to make a new album of songs: this is a compilation of some those older Beatle songs that have since been exhumed, rerecorded and released just in time for International Beatles Day, and the songs that were missed on the first trawl. I have also recorded a brand new song (plus video) for the occasion.
As with the first Beatlesque, I have attempted to put them in Beatlechronolological order...
Enjoy.
