Frith said the tape appeared to be a professionally edited recording of the Beatles’ New Year’s Day 1962 audition for Decca Records in London, a session that notably ended with the band’s rejection.
The 15 songs — all but three of them covers — matched the group’s set list from the audition, according to Frith.

But was that cover as good as The Flying Lizards cover of the same?
