The story behind the Deccagone singles is that the late Joe Pope, an avid Beatles fan and collector who published one of the best Beatles fanzines “Strawberry Fields Forever” and produced the very first Beatles convention in Boston in 1974 purchased the Beatles audition tape in 1977 for $5,000.00. With the purchase of the Decca audition tapes, he decided to have the tapes professionally mastered. He then had seven double sided color Deccagone singles pressed which, originally were exclusively available through his fanzine, “Strawberry Fields Forever” and his store in Boston. The world finally had some idea of why Decca Records had turned The Beatles down. Until this time, no one ever heard the tracks or had any idea of what songs were on the original Decca tapes.

   The Decca audition refers to the now-famous audition by the Beatles for Decca Records at their Decca Studios in West Hampstead, north London, UK, before they reached international stardom.

   Manager Brian Epstein made numerous trips to London to visit record companies with the hope of securing a record contract but was rejected by many, including Columbia, Pye, Philips, and Oriole. Neil Aspinall drove the Beatles down to London on New Year's Eve, in 1961, for a Decca audition but lost his way, and the trip took ten hours. They arrived at 10 o'clock at night, and John Lennon said they arrived "just in time to see the drunks jumping in the Trafalgar Square fountain." On 1 January 1962, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Pete Best were auditioned by Decca staff and performed a total of fifteen songs in just under one hour. Epstein and the Beatles decided on a selection of covers the Beatles had performed in various clubs over the years, along with three Lennon–McCartney originals.

   Decca Studios, Broadhurst Gardens, London:

The first formal audition for a British record company, in a studio 2 miles from EMI, the Beatles nervously taped 15 songs chosen by Brian Epstein to show off every facet of their talent…each song performed  live on 2 track mono tape…A&R assistant Mike Smith had been sent by Dick Rowe to see the Beatles 19 days earlier in Liverpool…the Beatles completed the session in an hour…Smith promised to call Epstein.

   Eventually, Decca Records rejected the Beatles, saying "guitar groups are on the way out" and "The Beatles have no future in show business," although it has since been suggested that their work that day did not yet reflect their true potential, and the "guitar" comment may have been intended as a polite let down. Decca instead chose Brian Poole and the Tremolos, who auditioned the same day as the Beatles, as they were local and would require lower travel expenses.This is considered to be one of the biggest mistakes in music history.
