On July 24,the RIAA certified the following Beatles album and singles-
Album;
Introducing The Beatles-PLATINUM
Singles;
Twist And Shout-PLATINUM
Love Me Do-PLATINUM
Please Please Me-PLATINUM
Do You Want To Know A Secret-GOLD
Apparently Capitol dug out the old evidence from its lawsuit against Vee Jay,and submitted it for audit.
I expect upgrades on the Capitol singles will be forthcoming.

Do you know there are still some in the current day who foolishly believe industry publications like Billboard fiddled with their chart system to give the Beatles even stronger chart placings? With certifications like these, one may surmise such thinking is sheer lunacy.
