Part I
If I was the talent spotter for Decca and I passed on the Beatles I'd deny that I did.
And to think that a record label that first looked at the Beatles didn't take them on because they felt that "guitar music was on the way out."
Maybe. It was Decca Records, apparently - although the man who supposedly said that line about guitar music, Dick Rowe, denies he ever made the comment. Soon after rejecting The Beatles, Decca went on to sign a bunch of guitar bands.
