On this day in music history: June 6, 1962 - The Beatles audition for producer George Martin at Abbey Road Studios in London. The band will play songs from their on stage repertoire including early Lennon/McCartney originals “Love Me Do”, “PS I Love You” and “Ask Me Why” and the pop standard “Besame Mucho”. Initially Martin is not very impressed with them until George Harrison famously quips that he doesn’t like the producer’s tie, when he asks the band if there’s something they don’t like after critiquing their performance. Harrison’s remark will break the tension and Martin is so charmed by their wit that he signs them. Now officially signed to EMI Records’ Parlophone imprint, The Beatles will return for their first recording date on September 4th. By then, original drummer Pete Best will be replaced by Ringo Starr.
