The Beatles – The Decca Tapes (Limited Edition on 180g Lagoon Vinyl)

These tapes (also known as ‘Decca Sessions’ or ‘Decca Auditions’) were recorded at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, North London, on the 1st January 1962, to pitch The Beatles to Decca Records, which rejected them. Former Beatles manager Epstein chose the repertoire of songs which contained 12 cover songs and 3 originals. Dick Rowe, former CEO of Decca Records wasn’t impressed by the quality and the song choices and signed Brian Poole & The Tremeloes from London instead.
