Love Me Do

~ Release by The Beatles (see all versions of this release, 36 available)

Annotation

In connection with this 20th anniversary, Capitol re-released the "Love Me Do / PS I Love You" single on November 19th, 1982. Interestingly, the label resurrected the familiar Capitol swirl design found on early US Beatles singles but mistakenly identified each song as in stereo, although there are no existing stereo mixes for either of these songs. Promo copies of this release were also printed that feature "Love Me Do" on both sides.
