Sir Paul McCartney has a revelation to make - that The Beatles 'weren't that good' when they started out.
The rocker told a UK radio station:
"We obviously weren't that good. We were formulating it all. You wouldn't have thought we were that great. You'd have turned us down if you were a record company. And they did - Decca turned us down."
Luckily good taste prevailed and producer George Martin signed the Fab Four to EMI's Parlophone label.
And the rest is...how do you say?
History.
