Mono mixes of "Please Please Me" and "Ask Me Why" for the Beatles' second single were produced this day at Abbey Road by George Martin (session time unknown). The Beatles' themselves weren't present; apart from a few isolated incidences, they only began to attend and participate in mix sessions much later, around 1965/66. The new single was issued by EMI on Friday, January 11, 1963.
