• #102 - Decca Tapes Part III - Rob Frith's true story of handing Paul McCartney a lost Decca Tapes reel

  When we interviewed record dealer Rob Frith in show #91 in March, he told us about the Beatles Decca tape he had found in a collection he bought. After there were indications this wasn't just an ordinary tape, he said that if Paul McCartney wanted the tape, Frith would give it to him for free if he could give it to him personally. It was an idea that seemed like wishful thinking at the time, but believe it or not, it happened. He tells us the full story in detail -- what led to the meeting and what happened next (like Paul's reaction to getting the tape, having lunch with Paul and watching the band rehearse). And there's an even more unlikely finish to the story at the end that we didn't expect. Thanks for listening, and be sure to subscribe if you aren't a subscriber already. See you next time!  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can binge listen to all of our episodes free at https://marinucci.podbean.com, on YouTube or on our blogspot page.
