Description
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UK release of the Beatles record Love Me Do, EMI decided to do a 50th anniversary issue. This is the 7th issue and was to be released as a limited edition to mark the 50th anniversary of the original release on 5 October 1962. Issued to record dealers in the week commencing 1st October for official release on 5th October, the single was then recalled prior to release by EMI when it was discovered they had mistakenly used the version of Love Me Do that features Andy White on drums. The vast majority of these records were destroyed. This record therefore has not been officially released. EMI reissued the single on 22nd October with the version of Love Me Do that features Ringo on drums, again a limited edition.
You are bidding for both copies. Please note that there is a slight scratch to the label of the 5th October issue. The record is as received from the supplier and unplayed.
The third record is Paul McCartney's latest release as part of a Liverpool Charity Appeal designed to cover the legal costs of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster, for sale is the Justice Collective issue of He Ain't Heavy featuring Paul McCartney as one of a number of singers on this record.
McCartney plays the guitar solo on the instrumental B side.
Limited edition of 1500.
