Beatles being rejected by Decca was a happy accident. George Martin was very much more receptive to their music style and an excellent mentor for the lot of them. He taught Paul McCartney and they schooled him too. Plus EMI found them to be so hot they were given carte blanche in their recordings. The Beatles ended up producing their own music with GM help. Similar story is Buddy Holly almost signed with Decca too but they wanted to produce contemporary 1950s music not his style of rock n roll. He quit. A happy accident put That'll Be The Day on the radio before he signed with a label. Brunswick records owned by Warner Brothers picked him up, but they were over a barrel and he ended up doing much the same thing. Norman Petty was producer but he was allowed to produce his own music. Some simplification of that ^ , but it's close enough.

As I understand it he took the plane as the coach provided was really crappy and freezing cold. If only he had been better treated he wouldn’t have taken that plane and who knows what music he might have created. Decca eventually woke up and signed the stones but the Beatles were where they were meant to be and Buddy Hollys music still lives on.

But for their audition tape they chose the most sedate, middle-of-the-road stuff imaginable. Thank the Lord that they got the chance to play the stuff they were really spectacular at (and that they ended up with George Martin).

Nobody knew what was brewing inside of these lads with all of their truly amazing songwriting potential....They seemed to have thrived and survived as a group simply on the energy they possessed among themselves...and somehow knowing that it was magical and different above and beyond the norm. As Paul stated in the movie, Eight Days A Week, when Ringo played with them, it was then that they knew they had the magic ingredients as a group for it became a complete and much more powerful musical unit with a more kick-ass and unified rhythmic engine to lift their music up. Paul clearly cited the addition of Ringo as the turning point. Go figure that George Martin signed them wholly on their personalities and not so much on their music. He had an instinct about them and somehow connected with their magic and charisma. What was to be eventually unleashed from them musically and creatively changed the entire world...all for the better.

Exacto, Martin fue seducido por los Beatles y así le ocurrió a Brian Epstein, no tanto por su música, como bien dices, que en mi opinión era un sonido como de los años 57, lo cual ya era una desventaja. Pero ojo, ahí estaba Pete Best, no Ringo. Que hubiera pasado si ya hubiese estado Ringo en esta época? Epstein o George Martín igual hubiesen sido cautivados por el grupo ? yo opino que no, hubieran sido rechazados, Ringo realmente era muy feo, para los standards de la época y además con un cuerpo defectuoso. Esa es la razón por la que los Beatles conservaron a Pete Best, pero no le señalaban como querían que tocase la batería, así dejaron que siguiera tocando. Y Best pensó que lo estaba haciendo bien. Pero ya tenían pensado traicionarlo en cuanto cosigireran un contrato y de hecho eso lo habían convenido con Ringo en Hamburgo, en donde lo conocieron. Este tocaba con Rory Storm y lo hacía bien, porque era otro nivel musicalmente hablando. Lo que si es increíble como cayeron en las manos de George Martín, con Pete Best, no Ringo. Debemos creer en la suerte o no o en los azahares del destino. Igualmente hubieran triunfado con Best o con Ringo, menos con cualquier otro. Ringo fue el elegido de los dioses. Baterista sin suerte no es baterista. Viva la beatlemania. Me declaro beatlemaniaco desde que escuche de niño " I want to hold your hand" no tocada por ellos (aparentemente ,) sino por una banda, en una fiesta que había en la casa de " los Monsters ". Seguramente pusieron la grabación de los Beatles. Pero para mí si fue increíble haber escuchado esa melodía. Afortunadamente tengo toda la música de los Beatles, desde que grabaron su primer disco, acompañando a Tony Sheridan, lo que si no se, quien era el que toco la batería en este disco, pero al momento eso ya es irrelevante.

There were three original songs in this performance; Like Dreamers Do, Hello Little Girl, and Love of the Loved. The first two are heavily copyright-protected, and therefore cannot be included in the upload. Love of the Loved is indeed not a great song, which may be why it’s not heavily copyright-protected. Also, it should be noted that it was common to do this type of audition at the time to show the label what the band’s breadth was, with one or two originals thrown in in-case they got signed for a single. Bands were not yet largely considered creative forces in-and-of themselves, and Decca at the time often preferred to supply its own bands with staff writers (EMI too). The bands themselves were considered workers who did what the label told them.

In several places it almost sounds like Elvis.

Not enough original material. McCartney had pressed the point with Lennon years earlier that they needed to write and perform their own stuff to set themselves apart.

Odd song selections knowing what we know now. Besame Mucho ..😮 and Till there was you? They picked the wrong songs.

To some extent, I think they picked songs based on Pete’s drumming strengths, which are different from Ringo Starr’s strengths. If I’m not mistaken, they pretty much dropped Besame Mucho after Starr officially joined the band.

Maybe that's why they played it with Ringo in Hamburg in December 1962.

IMHO the Beatles were much better at the rockin' numbers (Money, Twist & Shout, etc) than the slow romantic ballads sung by Paul.
