This was around the time the Beatles started making strides. If surprising that Epstein didn’t see them perform til November of 1961 When one listens to the Decca sessions they are of such low quality and that was jan 1 1962.
I always wondered why the Decca audition tapes were so poor. It must have been the travel and coming around the holidays. Please Please Me was recorded Sept 11 1962 and Feb 20 1963 and sounds fresh today. What was heard on those Decca Tapes it would be easy to reject them it was a super bad performance. Maybe it was nerves
