About the Album
“MonaLisa Twins Play Beatles & More” is a cover compilation of world-known songs from the 60s era. It contains a lot of Beatles songs but you’ll also find covers of the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, the Easybeats, Buffalo Springfield and Janis Joplin on the album.
“Over the last years we have built up quite a stack of YouTube videos, as well as a big live repertoire of cover songs that we perform regularly. We recorded some of them as studio versions where we were able to play more than one guitar each, sing multiple harmonies and on which Mona plays drums and percussion and Dad does the bass. For our live shows, however, we play in the classical 60s band setting with 2 guitars, drums and bass and 2 – 3 voices, sometimes joined by the Ukulele (Lisa) and the blues harp (Mona).”
Depending on the type of recording you’ll notice differences in the arrangements. There are studio recordings mixed with live performances and even some acoustic duo recordings, like Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”.
Many tracks on the CD have been on the MonaLisa Twins YouTube channel for years, while others have not been published anywhere before. People from all over the world discovered them by searching for covers of their favorite songs and then kept following the Twins’ musical career. Maybe you’re one of them!
Fans kept asking if they could buy the music somewhere. Some wanted to use it for their weddings or funerals. Music teachers use their covers for their lessons, dancers for their choreographies, … So the MonaLisa Twins team finally decided to produce this cover compilation before the girls started writing and recording new originals.

This is a great CD! I love the music mix and incredible skills displayed in the songs and production. I look forward to your next release!
Just received my CD in the mail. MLT Play the Beatles & more! Love it! Such talented young ladies! Keep on rockin! Thank you!
MLT do the only Beatles covers that I like, and some of them are better than the originals! My dreams is that Paul and Ringo will sit in with MLT. Wouldn’t that be fun!
Mona and Lisa pay homage and give respect to some of the greatest music of the last 60 or so years in this 3 album set. This is volume one and is loaded with great covers. A worthy first album in the set, they do such an amazing job of keeping these great songs alive where they belong. These are wonderful albums; they are so great at covering these with… Read more »
One of the things I really like about the Beatles and More Volume 1 is the many live versions of some great songs, done for the most part by the first MonaLisa Twins live stage band with Michael Mozeth on bass and Philipp Wolf on drums. That was a great band and it really shows on this album.
More more more please.
This and the two subsequent issues are wonderful stuff, these girls don’t just cover songs,they put their stamp on them,
I own all their issues now,but listen to these three really regular, I love all they do and look forward to new things in the future, their song June is magnificent.
Have all 3 now and listen to them often!! I continue to let everyone know about the MLT’s and the great community of music lovers that follow and support them. Guaranteed to bring a smile of joy to your face, an occassional tear and just so much goodness!!
The Beatles sold millions of albums and one of the main reasons for this is that song writing was their great strength. MLT have a knack of putting their own unique interpretation on great songs by 60’s (and 70’s) artists and breathing new life into them. Their musicianship is fantastic. They can play their instruments, they sing wonderful harmonies and their love of the music shines through. I have all… Read more »
Amazing album. I grew up in the 60’s listening to this music. Thank you girls for breathing new life into all these classic songs.
