A fascinating snapshot of The Beatles at a pivotal moment, this 180 gram LP features the famously rejected audition tape recorded on New Year's Day 1962, with Pete Best on drums.

These are the recordings that prompted the now-notorious line sent to Brian Epstein: “guitar groups are on their way out” — a judgement tied to what may well be one of the great missteps in rock n' roll history.

An essential piece of early Beatles history, capturing the band before everything changed.
