The tape is said to be a demo for the Fab Four to sign to Decca back in 1962.  A rare Beatles recording has been unearthed in a record store in Canada.  The tape is thought to be a rare recording of a session they had to sign with Decca. History though would detail how Decca passed on the band, leading to their legacy with George Martin and Parlophone.

While Sir Paul McCartney continues to clean up previous songs by The Beatles through the use of artificial intelligence, will it be enough for a recent discovery found in Canada?  Billboard reported that a rare, 15 track demo of The Beatles was unearthed in a record store in Vancouver, with the record store’s owner thinking he had just found a bootleg of the band - a bootleg being an unofficial record of either a band’s demos or live recordings.
