Description

11 September 1962. The Beatles recorded "Love Me Do" with session drummer Andy White on drums. Ringo Starr was relegated to playing tambourine. As tambourine is not present on the 4 September recording, this is the easiest way to distinguish between the Starr and White recordings.
11 September 1962: 18 takes recorded with Andy White on drums. Take 18 used as master

50th anniversary mix-up and release

EMI released a 50th anniversary limited-edition replica of the original single, featuring "Love Me Do" backed with "P.S. I Love You", in October 2012. The 7-inch disc was originally scheduled to hit stores on 5 October but was recalled when it was discovered that the pressings contained the Andy White version instead of the Ringo Starr version as intended. The White version was recalled, and the correct version with Ringo Starr on drums was issued on 22 October 2012
