On this day, The Beatles were awarded their first silver disc, for sales of more than 250,000 copies of their single “Please Please Me”, at a lunchtime ceremony attended by the press and EMI record executives. They received their award from their producer George Martin. During the presentation ceremony, the group gave a private performance and posed for photos.
