BROKEN - "On the verge of international stardom, the dreams I helped
build with my fellow Beatles were snatched away. I was left to crash
and burn, broken. I chose to stand tall. 'When I'm beat, you won't
see me down. When I'm beat, I'll turn it around' - or at least I'll
try. I think I did."

without the dizzying heights of my fellow Beatles, I still have
everything I want..."

Haymans Green
The Pete Best Band
The eleven tracks written recorded by The Pete Best Band for the
"Haymans Green" Album/CD are biographical taking in different
extracts of Pete Bests life. They have been written with Pete in a
fashion that not only depicts his life, but the trials and
tribulations of life in general. The following song descriptions,
however are from Petes perspective.
1. COME WITH ME - My mother Mona Best opened Liverpools first
beat
club. It was to become the venue where not only The Beatles
started,but, every group that came out of liverpool. The Casbah was
the catalyst for The Beatles and Merseybeat. Come With Me to the Casbah
2. STEP OUTSIDE - It was 1968. I had toured and recorded for
years.
I'd tried every avenue to get through the door as a young musician.
It was time to step outside the situation, to look around, weigh my
options, and walk away. I had a family to bring up. I stepped outside
the music.
3. START AGAIN - The Beatles baptism of fire in Hamburg.
Playing
eight hours a night and then partying, recovering just in time to
start again. It was gruellin, but made us a force to be reckoned with.
4. GREY RIVER - Liverpool, my home town, the gateway to the
world
sits on the banks of the River Mersey. The song is about the river,
the city, the people, it's history. It's about being proud to be from
Liverpool.
5. GONE - It's about my friends and colleagues that have
passed. It's
upbeat, it's not remorseful, it's about remembering the good times I
shared. They're gone, but not forgotten.
6. DREAM ME HOME - It's about my life on the road today, even
though
it's hectic, and your time is consumed with the touring schedule, you
still miss home. It's in your dreams.
7. EVERYTHING I WANT - It's about my life, the measure of it.
Even
without reaching the dizzy heights of my fellow Beatles, I still have
everything I want. A wonderful wife, beautiful children, good
friends, health, happiness. Everything thats' important to me.
8. BEAT STREET - The Beatles began to play Mathew Street. The
other
groups were copying The Shadows, who were very light weight. The
Beatles were raw, Rock N Roll. Everything changed on Beat Street, now
they were copying us.
9. BROKEN - On the verge of success and international stardom,
I had
the dreams I helped build with my band mates snatched away. I was
left to crash and burn, broken. I chose to stand tall. When I'm Beat
you won't see me down, when I'm beat I'll turn it around, or at least
I'll try. I think I did.
10. RED LIGHT - Hamburg of the 1960s had the largest red light
district in the world. We were young men in a rock band, a long way
from home, and the girls had a very soft spot for us. We had no complaints.
11. HAYMANS GREEN - My family home, and one time Beatle
headquarters.
It sits on top of the Casbah Coffee Club. The house is steeped in
memories for me. It has now become the holy grail, of The Beatles trail !!!.
