P.S. I Love You (original mono studio mix)

~ Recording by The Beatles

Annotation

P.S. I Love You exists only in mono.

Mock stereo made from this recording on 25 Feb 1963. Like “Love Me Do,” the song was rechanneled to have primarily all the treble frequencies on one side and all the bass frequencies on the other, creating a stereo effect. There has never been, nor ever will be, a true stereo mix of the song, since it was originally only recorded in mono. This version was used on Please Please Me, Parlophone PCS 3042 in the UK and Introducing The Beatles, Vee Jay VJSR 1062 in 1963 & again on The Early Beatles, Capitol ST 2309 in 1965. This mock version is actually what was made into a new mono mix by Capitol used on The Early Beatles, Capitol T 2309 in 1965.
