In September of 1962 George Martin, the Beatles' producer, insisted the boys record a song called 'How Do You Do It?' (written by Mitch Murray). John and Paul, pretty cocky for this early stage of their career, put their collective foot down.
But Martin's word was law. And thus, the Beatles laid down, much against their will, a fairly routine version of the pleasant, if unexciting, song. Interestingly, this record was never to be released. The song was later given to another local Liverpool group called Gerry & the Pacemakers. In March of 1963, the Gerry & the Pacemakers version of 'How Do You Do It?' hit number one on the record charts.
