Our Take

"Ah, The Beatles – the Fab Four that needs no introduction. But have you ever heard their Decca Tapes? If not, prepare to be whisked away to a time when the lads were still raw and hungry for stardom.

This Picture Disc release is a nostalgic gem, capturing the band's audition for Decca Records back in 1962. And let me tell you, it's a must-listen for any self-respecting Beatles fan.

From the moment the needle drops, you're transported to a dingy London studio where John, Paul, George, and Pete (sorry, Ringo fans) are belting out classics like 'Like Dreamers Do' and 'Three Cool Cats'. The energy is infectious, the harmonies are tight, and you can practically feel the buzz of excitement in the air.

Sure, the sound quality may not be crystal clear – hey, it was recorded over half a century ago – but that only adds to the charm. It's like listening to a rare, unpolished diamond in the rough.

So, if you're in the mood for a trip down memory lane or just fancy a taste of The Beatles before they became global superstars, snatch up this Picture Disc and let the Decca Tapes transport you back to a time when the world was about to be conquered by Liverpool's finest. 4.5/5 stars, wouldn't you agree?"
