On October 5th, 1962, the Beatles first single ‘Love Me Do’ was released. On the Parlophone ‘red label’, it featured the Beatles recording made on September 4th, 1962, with Ringo Starr on drums. This was significant, as originally, the Beatles producer George Martin wasn’t happy with Ringo’s drumming that day, and had the Beatles remake ‘Love Me Do’on September 11th with session drummer Andy White on drums. Ringo was given a tambourine to bang, much to his everlasting chagrin. When it came to the original release though, Ringo’s version was chosen. Things became confusing months later when Parlophone changed its record label to a black one, and at the same time, substituted the Andy White version of ‘Love Me Do’ as the single.
