      Frith said the tape appeared to be a professionally edited recording of the Beatles’ New Year’s Day 1962 audition for Decca Records in London, a session that notably ended with the band’s rejection.
    
      The 15 songs — all but three of them covers — matched the group’s set list from the audition, according to Frith.

      [including] the Beatles performing a cover of the Motown hit “Money (That’s What I Want).”
    

    But was that cover as good as The Flying Lizards cover of the same?
