The Beatles first recorded it on June 6, 1962 with Pete Best on drums, as part of their EMI audition at Abbey Road Studios in London (released on Anthology 1).
By September 4, Best had been replaced with Ringo Starr (producer George Martin did not approve of Best's drumming), and on that day The Beatles with Starr recorded a version again at Abbey Road Studios (released on the initial issue of the single - red Parlophone label - and on Past Masters, Volume One).
One week later, on September 11, The Beatles returned to the same studio to discover that Martin was dissatisfied with Starr's drumming, and they made a recording of "Love Me Do" with session drummer Andy White on drums while Starr played tambourine (released on the second and most common issue of the single - black Parlophone label - and on the album Please Please Me) .
Most issues of the single contain the Andy White version of the track (that can also be heard on several albums including Please Please Me, and The Beatles' Hits EP). However, the initial issues of the UK single featured the Ringo Starr version, which is also included on the compilation album Past Masters, Volume One. All singles printed with the red Parlophone label contain the Ringo Starr version (recorded on September 4), whereas the singles having a black Parlophone label are the Andy White version (recorded on September 11). The CD single issued on October 5, 1992 contains both of these versions of "Love Me Do". The Pete Best version remained unreleased until 1995 when it was included on the Anthology 1 album
