The rare history of the Beatles has surfaced unexpectedly: a small record store in Vancouver.
Rob Frith, owner of Neptoon Records, recently stumbled upon a regular pirated version of what he believed was a tag The Beatles’ 60s Demo. However, after playing the reel tape (get the reel), he realized that he might have discovered the band’s original 1962 Decca audition tape directly.
“I just thought it was a tape of pirated records.” “I heard it for the first time last night that it sounded like the main tape. The quality wasn’t real. It sounded like the Decca tape master of the Beatles’ 15 songs, how could it be?”
The videotape is considered a copy of the infamous 1962 audition conference, recorded by the Beatles at Decca Studios in London. The tag famously passed the group’s signature – he will join Parlophone and release his first album under George Martin please 1963.
French fries, face CBCTo say the sound quality is so primitive, “It seems the Beatles are in the room.” The tape identified by music conservationist Larry Hennessey is called “Leadership Tapes” (used to separate tracks on the leading record), not just a compilation of fans.
Further conspiracy caught the attention when Frith tracked down the man who brought the video to Canada: Jack Herschorn, former Vancouver Records Director. According to Herschorn, the tape was submitted to him by a London producer in the 1970s, indicating a copy was sold in North America. But he refused: “It’s not a moral matter. These guys are famous and they should have the right royalties… they should come out right.”
Now, in 60 years after the original conference, fans can hear Frith’s first Instagram track – “Money (That’s What I Want)”, which soon became popular among the Beatles devotees.
Fries said he had no intention of selling the videotape, but was happy to provide a copy to Decca, or when he was joking, if he had ever been stopped by Neptoon Records, hand it over to Sir Paul McCartney in person.
