A Beatle a Month!
About Every Month... I will talk about a different Beatle song. I will tell you who sings the song as well as the history of the featured Beatle song.
On Sept. 4, 1962, the fab four went to Abby Road studios to record an album. George Martin wanted to put out an album as soon as he signed the Beatles. That day, Martin wanted to have them record the song "How do you do it" by Mitch Murray. Martin believed it would become a hit! The Beatles called that song a "schlock" and didn't want to record it. They wanted to record "Love Me Do," the song that Paul and John had written together. "When you can write material as good as this, I'll record it, but right now we're going to record this." George Martin exclaimed. They finally did record the Mitch Murray song, but said they would only do it if "Love Me Do" could be recorded as well. Martin agreed When "Love Me Do" was recorded, George Martin didn't like Ringo's drumming. So, [George Martin] decided to reschedule the recording date of the fab four's song. On Sept. 11, 1962, the Beatles got together again with George Martin to re-record the song. For this song, Ringo got replaced by Andy White, a professional drummer Martin hired "to make sure it was right" Martin stated. Ringo ended up playing the Tambourine and doing hand claps instead of playing the drums. At the end of the session, the first single was complete... On the A side, "Love Me Do," and on the B side "P.S. I Love You." "How Do You Do It" remained unreleased until the 1995 Anthology 1. The single with "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" on it was released Oct. 5, 1962. "LOVE ME DO" AWARDS
The first version of "Love Me Do" with Ringo playing drums was released on the 1995 Anthology 1 album. The second version of "Love Me Do" featuring Andy White on drums was released on the album "Please Please Me" and as a single with "Love Me Do" as the A side and "P.S. I Love You" as the B side.
