Ringo Starr Recalls The Beatles Being Refused By Many Record Companies
It’s not easy getting a record deal from a label, considering that even the legendary Beatles struggled to convince numerous executives to sign them in. Recently, during the premiere of Mary McCartney’s ‘If These Walls Could Sing,’ Ringo Starr shared with the Scottish Sun how challenging it was for the band to find a label and how the Abbey Road Studios were there to save them.
It might be safe to say that Abbey Road had been pretty welcoming when the four lads of the Beatles were looking for any place to record their tunes, but the record executives weren’t so sure about the band’s talents. So, when Ringo was asked how important was Abbey Road Studios in the Beatles’ career, the drummer decided to pay some tribute.
“They have a little bit for us,” Starr said as he discussed what was so special about the famous recording studio. “We were just blessed that we got a record deal because of George Martin, and he was working out of here because we were refused by many record labels. And George took a chance, and then we came here, and we did ‘Love Me Do,’ and we went on from there.”
