Curious
When the Decca Records rejected The Beatles... "We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out."
how could it effect us to think this way? to say "groups of guitars are on the way out"
Did the Decca Records only record bands.. that didn't play much guitars or what? On a website, it said it was their biggest mistake in history.. but I'm still confused why they rejected them.

When the Beatles auditioned they played 15 songs in an hour, all chosen by their manager Brian Epstein. The songs were a mixture of Lennon/McCartney songs and covers. The group did not perform well and made several mistakes. They were described as 'mediocre' and therefore did not impress the record company that much. Although, despite their poor performance, they were originally told they would be signed up, the decision was taken a few weeks later to reject them. They were told guitar groups were on the way out, although this did not stop Decca signing The Tremeloes, another guitar group.
It was a pretty big mistake considering how huge The Beatles went on to be. However, they did go on to sign up The Rolling Stones, so they did get some things right.
