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. Reviews of the album have been mostly favourable, and almost all reviewers agree that the album sounds influenced by The Beatles, a band which Pete Best was a member of between 1960 and 1962.

The album's cover shows the section of the Hamburg-era photograph of The Beatles featuring Best's face that was removed as part of the collage design for the Beatles' Anthology 1 album.^[1]
