Love Me Do (single)

Their first single, and the version with Ringo on drums. No slight on Ringo, but the Please Please Me version is much better: it's livelier. The difference can probably just be boiled down to two different takes; knowing how mercurial the Fabs were in the studio, this seems to be an off take, simply missing the magic.
