This Day in Rock History - June 6th

1962: The Beatles audition for EMI Records in London at the not yet famous Abbey Road studios. They perform three of their own compositions, “Love Me Do,” P.S. I Love You,” and “Ask Me Why,” as well as the old, old standard “Besame Mucho.”

While not assigned to produce the session, George Martin is called in to give a listen. He is not impressed with either the band’s look or their musical ability, but he likes their cheeky attitude. So he decides to give them a shot, as long as they can find a new drummer. And so Pete Best’s days as a Beatle are numbered.
