THE BEATLES

“Decca Audition Tapes” 2X Bootleg LP (????)

About/Release/Version Details

I bought this from an older, traditional Hasidic Jewish couple in a metro Detroit suburb.  The husband said his uncle was the man behind this bootleg label and I did not see any reason for him to lie.  The wife then told me stories about her days spent at CBGB in the late seventies and catching shows by The Ramones and Television.  They were pretty damn cool.

I believe this bootleg is called Contraband CBM and possibly uses artwork or illustrations by J. Fish?.

Per the LP sleeve, these “outtakes” were recorded by the BBC sometimes in 1962 or 1963 by the BBC and only broadcasted once in 1963.

Contraband CBM Label
Bootleg US Pressing, 2X LP

Media Grade: NM, Record was originally sealed when I purchased it.  It was opened to make sure there were no issues with the vinyl.  Played once to test.  Both LPs are flawless.  They also have identical labels but both were play-tested.  One LP starts with “She Loves You” while another LP stars with “You Really Got a Hold on Me.”

Grading

I grade conservatively and try to be as descriptive  

**This is the Scale I use for Grading, which is based off of the Goldmine grading scale, probably the most familiar grading scale.  If you are familiar with this scale, then you will comfortable with my grading:

NM: possibly never played and with pretty much no visible flaws.  Has the appearance of never being played or handled by human hands outside of it

EX or VG++: one or maybe two very minor flaws (light scuffs or light hairlines, maybe one very small but unfelt scratch) but plays near perfectly and still has that "new record gloss."

VG+:  Some minor scratches, scuffs or signs of handling that do not affect playback or sound quality to the average listener. The music should always be clear and never competing with noise.  At the most, maybe some low noise during a quiet breakdowns or silence will be present or some very quite pops picked up by only acute ears.  Still flashing a little to a fair share of gloss.

VG: Has signs of handling and scratches/scuffs but playback is still always enjoyable.  Though noise may start to be more noticeable in non-quite sections, it never hampers the listening experience and the music is always placed in the forefront. Maybe a hint of gloss.  At the worst, maybe a scratch or two on a few tracks that are at the most barely audible and easily ignored/looked past

G+ or VG-

G
