The Decca Auditions (1962)

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: <ul><li>The guys get... a little punchy</li> <li>The Fab Three get a little nervous for the big audition</li> <li>Poor Pete Best gets the Charlie Brown treatment (why's everybody always pickin' on him?)</li> <li>Tony gets a lesson in British proper noun pronunciation</li> <li>And TJ (spoiler alert?) finds a way to tie it all back to musical theater and 80s sitcoms.</li> </ul> We'd like to say "thank you" on behalf of the show and ourselves, and we hope we passed the audition.   LINKS <ul><li>Check out this week's <a href='https://pandora.app.link/PP1u7Lm7Zdb'>Pandora playlist</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.untitledbeatlespodcast.com/subscribe'>Subscribe here</a>, or anywhere you get your podcasts</li> <li>Pete's the best Beatle drummer. <a href='https://www.facebook.com/untitledbeatlespod'>Change our minds on Facebook</a>.</li> <li>Like what you're hearing?
