Our Take

The Beatles' Decca Tapes, released on Lagoon Vinyl, is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the Fab Four before they conquered the world. Recorded in a single day auditioning for Decca Records in 1962, this album captures the raw energy and talent that would eventually make them the biggest band in history.

From the moment the needle drops on the first track, you can hear the excitement and enthusiasm of a young band hungry for success. The lo-fi recording quality only adds to the charm of these early recordings, giving them a gritty authenticity that is sometimes lacking in their more polished studio albums.

Songs like "Like Dreamers Do" and "Three Cool Cats" showcase the band's versatility and potential, with John Lennon's distinctive voice and Paul McCartney's melodic bass lines shining through. While some tracks may sound a bit rough around the edges, it's clear that the talent and chemistry of the band were already present, waiting to be honed and polished.

Overall, The Beatles' Decca Tapes is a must-listen for fans of the band's early work, providing a unique insight into their beginnings as a group. So grab a cup of tea, put on your best mod suit, and let yourself be transported back to a time when four lads from Liverpool were just beginning their incredible journey to superstardom. Cheers, lads!
