As a matter of fact, there's a write-up for it on AllMusic.com:
In an attempt to cash in on the Beatles' fame, Pete Best formed a band in
1964 (known as the Pete Best Combo) from the ashes of Lee Curtis and the
Allstars, the band he joined after being asked to leave the Beatles. Pete
recorded several singles and one album during this time, none of which sold
particularly well, and would not be remembered if not for his connection to
the Beatles. This particular release features a couple of the singles, as
well as unreleased material from the album sessions. It is a rather short
affair, offering only eight tracks, and not the best Pete had ever done.
There are no outstanding tracks, as each song just seems to roll to the
next. Some of the material is interesting, but overall it is bland Liverpool
beat music. All but one track ("Rock and Roll Music") were written by band
members Tony Waddington and Wayne Bickerton, who later went on to be
in-house writers for Decca Records. An album really only a Beatle completist
would want or need. - Aaron Badgley

Subject: Pete Best
I found this cassette I have had for awhile. It is
called"The Beatle that Time Forgot" and is of Pete
Best. It is released on the Phoenix label. Other than
that there is no information on it. Does anyone know,
is this the recordings Pete did in 1964 as Best of the
Beatles? A few song titles; I'll Try Anything, I DOn't
Know Why I Do, More Than I need Myself, Rock and Roll
Music, just to name a few. Also does anyone know who
the other players might be? ANy other musicians from
the Liverpool scene? Did Brian Epstein help him out
anymore after he was booted besides getting him a
place with Lee and The Allstars?
Looking forward to Chicago IPO,
Todd
