The Decca Auditions (1962)

from Untitled Beatles Podcast · host Magic Alex Electronics LTD

This week, Tony and TJ hop in their time machine to revisit some of the earliest proto-Beatles (pre-Ringo!) recordings: The Decca Auditions. Never officially released—you can find them all on YouTube, or if you're lucky, a Japanese import CD—these tapes capture the band at their most raw. Things to look forward to: The guys get... a little punchy The Fab Three get a little nervous for the big audition Poor Pete Best gets the Charlie Brown treatment (why's everybody always pickin' on him?) Tony gets a lesson in British proper noun pronunciation And TJ (spoiler alert?) finds a way to tie it all back to musical theater and 80s sitcoms. We'd like to say "thank you" on behalf of the show and ourselves, and we hope we passed the audition.   LINKS Check out this week's Pandora playlist Subscribe here, or anywhere you get your podcasts Pete's the best Beatle drummer.
