Untitled Beatles Podcast

The Decca Auditions (1962)

Listen Later
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.
