From Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac...
September 4, 1962…At EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London, the Beatles recorded six songs including "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," which became the two sides of their first single. Producer George Martin originally wanted to release their version of the Mitch Murray composition, "How Do You Do It?" but it was recorded by and became a hit for Gerry and the Pacemakers instead. The Beatles rendition remained unreleased until 1995 when it appeared on "Anthology 1."
