Happy New Year!

January 1, 1962 – 50 years ago today. The Beatles down to London for some recordings that will forever be known as the Decca Audition Tapes. It was a very significant day in their history. Decca turned The Beatles down thinking guitar bands were on their way out. We would kindly say that it was poor judgment on their part!! These were later shopped around by Brian Epstein, being rejected by all, until he got to a producer for a small subsidiary of EMI Records, who specialized in mostly comedy records. He wasn’t sure what he liked about them, but he did, and decided to have them come down for an audition (two months before Ringo joined). His name was George Martin. A moment in history that will forever link him to The Beatles as they explored the world of recording over the next 7 1/2 years that reached heights that will never ever be matched.

We wish all of you a Very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2012!!
