I'm talking about the beautifully mixed natural sounding vocals that arent drenched in reverb, those dry sounding guitars and various instruments. Drums that sound like they're in the room. Various sound effects and tape looping type stuff. Orchestral instruments maybe? Instrumental or not, doesn't matter. It's ok if it's jazz. Just need something that sounds sonically like the later beatles especially Magical Mystery Tour, Sg Peppers, and The White Album.

Beatles contemporary you might like- Spirit- 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus

Chicago's first albums had that same sort of clean, dry sound.

Also, you know the whole 70s MOR rock movement owes it's characteristic warm sound to George Martin and the Beatles- Fleetwood Mac for instance

For someone later who looks back to 60s music and production, try Paul Weller.

Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed

Fun fact: it was the Moody Blues who introduced the Beatles to the mellotron.

Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn

The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow

Love - Forever Changes

13th Floor Elevators - Easter Everywhere

Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow

Jimi Hendix - Axis Bold as Love

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

The Byrds - Fifth Dimension

The Grateful Dead - Anthem of the Sun

A lot of these lack the sophistication of production that Peppers, but they also don't have George Martin producing. They are all just drenched in psychedelia though and mostly all use a lot of the same tools and equipment to create that reverby dreamy like sound.
