Following The Beatles’ failed audition for Decca Records on 1st January 1962, Brian Epstein asked for the tape, since Decca would have no use for it without the artists being signed to a contract. He was given a copy of the audition on two ten-inch reels. Between them, these contained the fifteen tracks recorded by The Beatles on 1st January 1962. Epstein hawked these around London, eventually landing The Beatles a recording contract with Parlophone Records. In the years since then, Epstein’s copy has gone missing. When Apple were compiling the Anthology albums in the mid 1990’s, they had to ask collectors for copies of the audition from bootlegs.
What is known is that two copies of the Decca Tapes were sold to private collectors in the late seventies and were used to produce many versions of the auditions. This LP is the "The Beatles - The Deccagone Sessions" on the Smilin' Ears label No. 7701. This LP contains the recording session at the Decca studios in the U.K. as well as some other early recordings from radio shows.
