This day in music history.

September 4, 1962, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr begin recording together for the first time at EMI's St. John Studio. They practiced 6 songs but recorded only two. The first was a song called "How Do You Do It" which George Martin was forcing them to record. It had been written by two friends of George and he thought it was better then any thing the Beatles had come up with themselves. They also record "Love Me Do" although George Martin was unhappy with Ringos drumming so he had The Beatles return the next day to re-record the track using session drummer Andy White. After arguing with the boys George Martin decides to give in and let them release "Love Me Do" for their first single and "How Do You Do It " is never released.
