In early 1962, four young Liverpool musicians travelled down to the big smoke to audition for Decca Records. However they were rejected by Decca who said “We don’t like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out.” These words would soon come back to haunt them when the group, who happened to be called The Beatles, became the biggest band in the world, shifting over half a billion units within 10 years.

Although Decca Records turned down The Beatles they did sign one of the biggest 1960’s artists, The Rolling Stones.
