A Day In The Life - 1st January 1962: The Beatles audition for Decca Records.

On New Year’s Day (not a holiday in England at that time), The Beatles (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best) conduct their first audition for a major record company, Decca. In Decca’s studios in London, and less than 2 miles from EMI’s Abbey Road studios, The Beatles tape 15 songs that have been carefully selected by Brian Epstein to show off their versatility: “Like Dreamers Do,” “Money,” “Till There Was You,” “The Sheik of Araby,” “To Know Her Is to Love Her,” “Take Good Care of My Baby,” “Memphis,” “Sure to Fall (In Love With You),” “Hello Little Girl,” “Three Cool Cats,” “Crying, Waiting, Hoping,” “The Love of the Loved,” “September In the Rain,” “Besame Mucho,” and “Searchin.’” It takes about an hour to record all the songs, and Decca’s Mike Smith (who had arrived late, irritating Brian Epstein) promises to get back to Brian with Decca’s decision.
