Product Details

The Decca audition rejection in January 1962 is one of rock history's most retold cautionary tales, but hearing those performances in this kind of fidelity reframes the story entirely. What's captured across these two discs isn't just archival curiosity; it's the sound of a band burning through their influences, from Buddy Holly to Carl Perkins, and emerging as something nobody had heard before.

Over 50 rare nuggets from the Fab Four's earliest (1958-1964) days, included the fabled Decca audition tape that the label, to it's eternal dismay, rejected, plus early Quarrymen recordings (That'll Be the Day), a version of Love Me Do with Pete Best on drums, a demo of Can't Buy Me Love, You Know What to Do (the second song George ever wrote) and many more essential, oft-bootlegged-but-never-sounding-so-good Beatles rarities.
