During that recording session the Beatles recorded 15 songs to convince Decca they were good enough to sign to a recording contract. Three of the songs were Lennon/McCartney originals. As history has shown- Decca rejected the Beatles. The tape of that recording session remained in Decca’s vaults until 1976 when John Pope, the publisher of the Beatles fanzine Strawberry Fields Forever, obtained a copy of this tape. He used the tape to produce seven 45 rpm singles pressed on color vinyl. These 45s were printed in very limited quantities and for promotional use only. They were pressed on a label that Mr. Pope designated DECCAGONE. Along with the seven 45s of the Decca recording sessions, Mr. Pope also pressed a bootleg recording of four of the Beatles songs they performed on November 4, 1963 in a Command Performance for British Royalty. This EP was pressed as a 33 1/3 promotional 7" record on colored vinyl, also on the DECCAGONE label. This was the performance in which John said the famous line to the audience “those in the cheaper seats, clap your hands, the rest can just rattle your jewelry”. This sleeve and record is the 33 1/3 EP By Royal Command, DECCAGONE PRO 1108. This EP contains 4 of the songs the Beatles performed on November 4, 1963 in a Command Performance for British Royalty.
