Some cool Decca session MP3's from 1962

[ThisBirdHasFlown]

This whole session is pretty neat to see their progression in the studio. They were not that tight at all. Theses tracks were recorded on New Years 1962. These are recordings are what prompted Dick Rowe to reject signing the Beatles. Some of you may have heard these already.

A pretty bad early version of the song. Johns voice cracks quite a bit, but still has it's charm.

Extremely early version with Paul singing and pretty badly at that! Can Paul sing bad? Judge for yourself!

More to come.....

nah nah I still like Paul singing there. See I got this bootleg. There's loads of versions of the Decca Tapes. "lost Decca Tapes" The Decca Tapes" etc...and they all have vol.1 vol.2 and so on I'm trying to collect them all haha

Cool! I have the whole bootleg too! It's really neat and even though this is their first serious session, it's got its charms despite not being their best. I really love it!

Am I the only one who can't seem to find how to listen to it? Help please!

Oh, I love the Decca tapes! Even in their early work they obviously had a lot of talent. Has anyone also heard the Live at the Star Club album? That one is awesome too, imo.
