The Beatles’ 50-year-old [rejected] Decca audition tape. It manages to sound both derivative and innovative, somehow.

Fifty years ago today, January 1, 1962, The Beatles recorded an audition tape (mostly covers and standards, some of which they later re-recorded and released) for Decca Records — who rejected them.
On this excerpt, you can hear “Take Good Care Of My Baby,” “Money,” “To Know Her Is To Love Her,” Chuck Berry’s “Memphis, Tennessee,” “Till There Was You,” “Sure To Fall (In Love With You),” “Besame Mucho,” “Love Of The Loved” (a Lennon-McCartney composition), and “September In The Rain.”
