The Biggest Mistake in Music History Happened Here | The Beatles' Rejection #thebeatles

On New Year's Day 1962, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Pete Best travelled from Liverpool to an ordinary building in West Hampstead for what they hoped would be the audition that changed their lives. Instead, they were rejected. In this video, I visit the former Decca Studios to tell the incredible story behind one of the biggest mistakes in music history. Why did Decca Records turn them down? Did they really say "guitar groups are on the way out"? And how did this famous rejection eventually lead The Beatles to Abbey Road and global superstardom? Join me as we uncover another hidden London story on London on a Budget.
