  • decca said "this guys have not talent at all,this guys will never make it" and they changed music history. most famous rejection of all the time. the beatles left decca with their mouths open after they became the most famous and greatest band of all time.

  • I love the irony that last October, so close to the 50th anniversary of this audition, Paul McCartney FINALLY released an album on the Decca label!

  • Hello Badfinger1974!

    First of all, nice, that you noticed my comment on Norman Chapman.

    But like I've already said a million times; after listening to all the possible material and trying to be as objective as possible, I still find Ringo a lot better drummer in every aspect to Pete.

    However; in an intererview Horst Fascher had the same idea as you about Epstein. I found it possible too, that mr. Eppy himself wanted to be the only manager of The Beatles!

    All the best

  • i think this is better money version than it was in with the beatles

  • @urwholefamilydied which, I think, is MrScieman's point.

  • @MrScieman Very true... although this is not ringo playing... it's pete best.

  • "To Know Her Is To Love Her" should have been used on Beatles For Sale

  • Great comment below on Norman Chapman...poor guy, had the break of all time being discovered by John, Paul and George while pounding the drums and then the unlucky moment of all time when he was about the last person drafted in the British army.
