IWOULD LIKE TO START BY MENTIONING THAT I AM AMAZED AT HOW GULLABLE SOME PEOPLE ARE! I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME ITEMS HAVE BEEN LISTED ON EBAY PORTRAYING 1ST ORIGINAL PRESSINGS WHEN CLEARLY THEY ARE REISSUES!!! SOME ARE EVEN CLEARLY 90S REISSUES IN WHAT SEEMS LIKE ORIGINAL SLEEVES! THERE ARE CERTAIN CHARACTORISTICS THAT I WILL EXPLAIN FURTHER TO DETERMINE GENUINE ORIGINAL IST UK PRESSINGS OF THIS PARTICULAR RECORD!! THIS RECORD IS FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION OF BEATLES RECORDS, COLLECTED OVER A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 35 YEARS!!!!!!!

"Love Me Do" begins with bluesy harmonica played by John Lennon, then features Lennon and McCartney on joint lead vocals although McCartney handles the low solo vocal line on the song's title phrase when all the instruments go silent. Lennon had previously sung these sections, but this change in vocals was made when the harmonica part was added, as Lennon needed to play it once the instrumentation started up again on the "do" of "love me do"

.

"Love Me Do" was recorded by the Beatles on different occasions with three different drummers:

• The Beatles first recorded it on 6 June 1962 with Pete Best on drums, as part of their EMI audition at Abbey Road Studios in London.
• By 4 September, Best had been replaced with Ringo Starr (producer George Martin did not approve of Best's drumming), and on that day the Beatles with Starr recorded a version again at Abbey Road Studios.
• One week later, on 11 September, the Beatles returned to the same studio to discover that Martin was dissatisfied with Starr's drumming, and they made a recording of "Love Me Do" with session drummer Andy White on drums while Starr played tambourine.

Most issues of the single contain the Andy White version of the track, which can also be heard on several albums (including Please Please Me) and the The Beatles' Hits EP. The initial issues of the UK single, however, featured the Ringo Starr version, which is also included on the compilation album Past Masters, Volume One. All singles printed with the red Parlophone label contain the Ringo Starr version, whereas the singles having a black Parlophone label are the Andy White version. The CD single issued on 5 October 1992 contains both these versions. The Pete Best version remained unreleased until 1995, when it was included on the Anthology 1 album.

"Love Me Do", featuring Starr drumming, was also recorded eight times at the BBC and played on the BBC radio programmes Here We Go, Talent Spot, Saturday Club, Side By Side, Pop Go The Beatles and Easy Beat between October 1962 and October 1963. The version of "Love Me Do" recorded on 10 July 1963 at the BBC and broadcast on the 23 July 1963 Pop Go The Beatles programme can be heard on the Beatles album Live at the BBC. The Beatles also performed the song live on the 20 February 1963 Parade of the Pops BBC radio broadcast.

In 1969, during the Get Back sessions, the Beatles played the song in a slower, more bluesy form than they had in earlier recordings. This version of "Love Me Do" is one of many recordings made during these sessions and subsequently appeared on some bootlegs.
