Fact #53451
When:
Short story:
The Beatles, with session drummer Andy
White standing in for Ringo
Starr, record Love Me Do and
P.S. I
Love You, under the watchful eye of producer George
Martin at Abbey Road Studios, London, UK.
Full article:
John Lennon : Paul wrote the main structure of this when he was sixteen, or even earlier. I think I had something to do with the middle eight.
Paul McCartney : I remember coming in to Abbey Road studio for the very first time ever, like nervous children, and George having just sustained a black eye at the Cavern from some guy who'd popped him one.
George Martin : There was certainly no evidence that they could write the necessary hits, but I was convinced I had a hit group on my hands if only I could find the right songs. As I couldn't find anything better, I reluctantly agreed to release Love Me Do as the first single. I thought it was the best of the bunch and John's harmonica was very appealing.
Paul McCartney : We were doing Love Me Do, which John and I sang in unison, until John was to break off and sing 'Love Me Do
