From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Love Me Do” was originally released in the United Kingdom on Friday 5th October 1962, it peaked at number 17.
It was released in the United States in 1964 and topped the nation’s song chart.
Re-released in 1982 as part of EMI’s Beatles 20th anniversary, it re-entered the UK charts and peaked at No. 4.
“Love Me Do” also topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand.
The song was written several years before being recorded, and prior to the existence of The Beatles. It features John Lennon‘s prominent harmonica playing and duet vocals by him and Paul McCartney.
Three recorded versions of the song by The Beatles have been released, each with a different drummer.
The first attempted recording from June 1962 featured Pete Best on drums, but was not officially released until the Anthology 1 compilation in 1995.
A second version was recorded three months later with Best’s replacement Ringo Starr, and this was used for the original Parlophone single first pressing.
A third version, featuring session drummer Andy White in place of Starr, was used for the second pressing and also included on the band’s “Please Please Me“ LP and on the 1964 Tollie single in the US.
