FURTHER INFORMATION:  


There are two versions of the original 'Love Me Do' single:

  • Version one features Ringo on drums - that was recorded on 4th September 1962  and was used on the early releases of the single, and 
  • Version two features Andy White on drums (with Ringo on tambourine), which was recorded on 11th September 1962.
To commemorate the fifty year date of that original 'Love Me Do' single being released, a fiftieth anniversary single was intended to be released by EMI. 


Version One. The 1st October 2012 release: On week commencing 1st October 2012, the first batch of this replica single were sent out to record dealers who had placed their orders.  They were delivered in time for the official release that was planned for 5th October 2012.
This version of the single was immediately recalled by EMI as it was discovered they had mistakenly used the version of Love Me Do that features Andy White on drums.  Also, they had wrongly used the catalogue number of 45 - R 4714 on the B Side (R 4714 belongs to a 1960 Matt Monroe release 'Portrait of my Love').
EMI announced that it was under strict instruction from The Beatles' Apple label to recall and destroy all copies of that single.
Some record dealers who received their stock of the single mid-week are known to have honoured mail orders before the recall - so there are copies in circulation (although it is not known how many).
The withdrawn release has BC88258-01A1 etched in the run-out groove of the A Side and BC88258-01B1 etched in the run-out groove of the B Side.

Version Two. 22nd October 2012 release:   EMI reissued the single on 22nd October.  That version now included the (correct) original version of 'Love Me' Do featuring Ringo on drums - although the B Side still carries the wrong catalogue number of 45 - R 4714! 
That correct release has the matrix detail of BC91232-01A etched in the run-out groove of the A Side, with matrix detail BC88258-01B1 etched in the run-out groove of the B Side (as the 5th October release).

PLEASE NOTE: The item listed here is the re-issued and authorised second version of the 50th anniversary 'Love Me Do' disc (that has the correct catalogue number on the A side - BC91232 - 01A).
