The album consists of 21 covers of original Beatles songs.[2] In 2013, Ballew released Baby Beatles! After supposedly waking up singing "Strawberry Fields Forever" one day, he decided to record a second covers album.[3]
Although recorded on a variety of instruments—many of which differ greatly from those on the original recordings—Ballew paid homage to the British band by copying several of their recording techniques, including between-track comments and a three-guitar solo on "The End". Additionally, all the tracks were mixed to match the volume and levels of every other Caspar Babypants song previously recorded.[4]
The artwork for the album was created by Seattle-based artist Kate Endle, Ballew's wife.
