Record label rejected The Beatles' off these 1962 songsnow tape of the audition could sell for $90,000

On New Year's Day in 1962, a then-unknown band called The Beatles performed 15 songs for British label Decca Records. There is some debate as to whether Decca Records rejected The Beatles or The Beatles rejected an offer from Decca to press their records only if the band paid for it themselves. Whatever the case, The Beatles' then manager Brian Epstein held on to a recording of the audition. Now, Sotheby's London will auction the tape of the Decca audition online, estimating it will sell for 50,000 to 70,000 pounds, or about $65,000 to $90,000. As Sotheby's tells it, Decca Records didn't take the band seriously at the audition.

"When Ringo joined, then it was like a real rocket ship," McCartney said. "We were a real band then," Starr said. Since the breakup, Ringo has gone on to find success as a solo artist, and as front man for a revolving group of musicians known as Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band. Already an inductee in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Beatles, Ringo won induction as an individual artist in 2015.
