"Honey Me Do"^[5] is the debut single past the English rock ring the Beatles, backed by "P.S. I Love You". When the unmarried was originally released in the Great britain on 5 October 1962, it peaked at number 17. It was released in the The states in 1964, where it became a number one hit.

The song was written several years before information technology was recorded, and prior to the existence of the Beatles. The single features John Lennon's prominent harmonica playing and duet vocals past him and Paul McCartney. Three recorded versions of the song by the Beatles take been released, each with a unlike drummer.

Composition [edit]

"Love Me Do" was primarily written by Paul McCartney in 1958–1959 while playing truant from school at age 16.^[6] John Lennon contributed the middle eight (or "span").^{[6] [7] [8]} The song was later credited to Lennon–McCartney.^[6] Lennon said: "'Love Me Do' is Paul'south song – ... I practise know he had the song effectually, in Hamburg, even, way, way before we were songwriters." McCartney said:

"Dearest Me Do" was completely co-written... It was just Lennon and McCartney sitting down without either of us having a specially original idea. Nosotros loved doing information technology, it was a very interesting affair to attempt and learn to practice, to get songwriters. I remember why we eventually got so potent was nosotros wrote so much through our formative menses. "Beloved Me Do" was our first hitting, which ironically is one of the 2 songs that nosotros control, because when we first signed to EMI they had a music publishing company chosen Ardmore and Beechwood which took the ii songs, "Love Me Practice" and "P.Southward. I Dearest You", and in doing a deal somewhere along the way we were able to get them back.^[vii]

Their do at the time was to scribble songs in a school notebook, dreaming of distinction, always writing "Another Lennon–McCartney Original" at the top of the page.^[ix] "Love Me Do" is a song based around three simple chords: G7 and C, earlier moving to D for its middle eight. It begins with Lennon playing a bluesy dry out "dockside harmonica" riff,^[ten] and so features Lennon and McCartney on joint lead vocals, including Everly Brothers-style harmonising during the beseeching "delight" before McCartney sings the unaccompanied vocal line on the vocal's title phrase.

Lennon had previously sung the title sections, but this modify in organization was made in the studio under the direction of producer George Martin when he realised that the harmonica function encroached on the vocal. Lennon needed to begin playing the harmonica once again on the aforementioned beat as the "do" of "honey me do".^[11] Nonetheless, when a similar state of affairs later occurred on the "Please Please Me" unmarried session the harmonica was superimposed after using tape-to-tape overdubbing.^[12]

Described by Ian MacDonald as "continuing out like a bare brick wall in a suburban sitting-room, 'Dearest Me Practise', [with its] edgeless working class northerness, rang the first faint chime of a revolutionary bell" compared to the standard Tin can Pan Aisle productions occupying the charts at the time.^[13]

Recordings and releases [edit]

"Love Me Do" was recorded past the Beatles on 3 occasions with iii drummers at EMI Studios at 3 Abbey Road in London:

• EMI Artist Test (The Beatles audition for George Martin) on vi June 1962 with Pete Best on drums.^[14] This version (previously thought to be lost) is available on Album i.
• First proper recording session, 4 September 1962. In August, Best had been replaced with Ringo Starr. Producer George Martin did not approve of Best'southward drumming for studio piece of work. It was the norm at that time to have a specialist studio drummer who knew the ways of studio work. The decision to fire Best was not Martin'south. The Beatles with Starr recorded a version at EMI Studios.^[15] They recorded "Love Me Practice" in 15 takes. This version with Starr is available on By Masters.
• 2nd recording session, eleven September 1962. A week later, The Beatles returned to the same studio and they made a recording of "Love Me Do" with session drummer Andy White on drums. Starr was relegated to playing tambourine. As tambourine is non nowadays on the four September recording, this is the easiest fashion to distinguish between the Starr and White recordings. The Andy White version is available on Please Delight Me.^[sixteen]

First problems of the single, released on Parlophone in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland on 5 Oct 1962, featured the Ringo Starr version, prompting Mark Lewisohn to afterward write: "Conspicuously, the 11 September version was non regarded as having been a pregnant comeback afterward all".^[17]

The Andy White version of the rails was included on The Beatles' debut UK anthology, Please Please Me, The Beatles' Hits EP, and subsequent anthology releases on which "Beloved Me Do" was included (except every bit noted beneath), every bit well every bit on the start United states single release in Apr 1964. For the 1976 unmarried re-outcome and the 1982 "20th Anniversary" re-issue, the Andy White version was again used. The Ringo Starr version was included on the albums Rarities (United states version), By Masters, and Mono Masters. It was also included on Tape ane of The Beatles Box. The CD unmarried issued on 2 October 1992 contains both versions.^[18] The Pete Best version remained unreleased until 1995, when it was included on the Anthology 1 album.

Capitol Records Canada pressed 170 singles which were released on four February 1963 with catalogue number 72076.^{[19] [xx]} This pressing was dubbed from the original Britain single and featured Ringo Starr on drums.

"Love Me Do", featuring Starr drumming, was also recorded eight times at the BBC and played on the BBC radio programmes Here We Go, Talent Spot, Saturday Club, Side Past Side, Pop Go The Beatles and Easy Crush between October 1962 and October 1963. The version of "Beloved Me Do" recorded on 10 July 1963 at the BBC and circulate on the 23 July 1963 Pop Go the Beatles plan can be heard on The Beatles' anthology Live at the BBC. The Beatles also performed the song live on the 20 February 1963 Parade of the Pops BBC radio circulate.^{[ citation needed ]}

In 1969, during the Get Back sessions, The Beatles played the song in a slower, more than bluesy form than they had in earlier recordings. This version of "Love Me Do" is one of many recordings fabricated during these sessions and later on appeared on some bootlegs. The song featured no harmonica by Lennon, and McCartney sang the majority of the song in the same vocal style he used for "Lady Madonna".^{[ citation needed ]}

Background [edit]

First recording session and use of harmonica [edit]

On 4 September 1962, Brian Epstein paid for the Beatles—forth with their new drummer, Ringo Starr—to wing downwards from Liverpool to London.^[21] Subsequently kickoff checking into their Chelsea hotel, they arrived at EMI Studios early on in the afternoon where they set their equipment in Studio 3 and began rehearsing six songs including: "Delight Delight Me", "Love Me Practice" and a song originally composed for Adam Organized religion by Mitch Murray called "How Do Yous Exercise It?" which George Martin "was insisting, in the apparent absence of whatsoever stronger original material, would be the group'southward starting time single".^{[22] [23]} Lennon and McCartney had yet to impress Martin with their songwriting power, and the Beatles had been signed as recording artists on the basis of their charismatic appeal: "It wasn't a question of what they could do [equally] they hadn't written anything great at that time."^[24] "But what impressed me most was their personalities. Sparks flew off them when you talked to them."^[25] During the course of an evening session that then followed (7:00 pm to 10:00 pm in Studio 2) they recorded "How Do You lot Exercise It" and "Love Me Practice". An endeavour at "Please Delight Me" was made, but at this stage it was quite unlike from its eventual handling and it was dropped by Martin. This was a disappointment for the group as they had hoped it would be the B-side to "Love Me Do".^[26]

The Beatles were keen to record their own material, something which was almost unheard of at that fourth dimension, and it is by and large accepted that it is to George Martin's credit that they were allowed to bladder their own ideas. Only Martin insisted that unless they could write something as commercial as "How Do You Do It?" then the Tin Pan Alley practice of having the grouping record songs by professional person songwriters (which was standard process and so, and is still common today) would exist followed.^[22] MacDonald points out, withal: "Information technology's almost certainly true that in that location was no other producer on either side of the Atlantic then capable of handling the Beatles without damaging them—let alone of cultivating and catering to them with the gracious, open-minded adeptness for which George Martin is universally respected in the British pop industry." Martin rejects however the view that he was the "genius" backside the grouping: "I was purely an interpreter. The genius was theirs: no doubt about that."^[27]

It was on the 4 September session that, co-ordinate to McCartney, Martin suggested using a harmonica.^[vii] Even so, Lennon's harmonica office was present on the Album i version of the vocal recorded during the 6 June audience with Pete Best on drums.^[28] Also, Martin'due south own recollection of this is different, saying: "I picked upwards on 'Love Me Do' because of the harmonica audio", adding: "I loved wailing harmonica—it reminded me of the records I used to upshot of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. I felt it had a definite entreatment."^[29]

Lennon had learned to play a chromatic harmonica that his Uncle George (tardily hubby of his Aunt Mimi) had given to him every bit a child. But the musical instrument being used at this time was one stolen by Lennon from a music shop in Arnhem, the Netherlands, in 1960, as the Beatles first journeyed to Hamburg by road.^{[thirty] [29] [31]} Lennon would take had this with him at the EMI audition on vi June every bit Bruce Channel'due south "Hey Infant", with its harmonica intro, and a hit in the U.k. in March 1962, was one of the 30 three songs the Beatles had prepared (although simply four were recorded: "Bésame Mucho"; "Love Me Practise"; "P.S. I Dear Y'all" and "Ask Me Why", of which but "Bésame Mucho" and "Love Me Exercise" survive and appear on Anthology one). Brian Epstein had besides booked the American Bruce Channel to elevation a NEMS Enterprises promotion at New Brighton'south Tower Ballroom, in Wallasey on 21 June 1962, just a few weeks after "Hey Infant" had charted, and placed the Beatles a prestigious second on the bill. Lennon was so impressed that night with Channel's harmonica thespian, Delbert McClinton,^[32] that he later approached him for communication on how to play the instrument.^[33] Lennon makes reference also to Frank Ifield's "I Think You" and its harmonica intro, a huge number one hitting in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland July 1962, saying: "The gimmick was the harmonica. There was a terrible affair called "I Remember You", and we did those numbers; and we started using it on "Love Me Do" just for arrangements".^[34] The harmonica was to go a feature of the Beatles' early on hits such every bit "Love Me Do", "Please Delight Me" and "From Me to You lot" as well as various album tracks. Paul McCartney recalled, "John expected to be in jail one day and he'd exist the guy who played the harmonica."^[9]

Martin came very close to issuing "How Practise Y'all Do Information technology?" equally the Beatles' starting time unmarried (it would as well re-appear every bit a contender for their second single)^[35] before settling instead on "Dear Me Do", as a mastered version of it was made ready for release and which still exists in EMI's archives.^[22] Martin commented afterwards: "I looked very hard at 'How Do Yous Practice It?', but in the end I went with 'Love Me Do', it was quite a adept record."^[22] McCartney would remark: "Nosotros knew that the peer force per unit area back in Liverpool would not permit united states to do 'How Do You Do It'."^[36]

Remake and Andy White [edit]

Martin so decided that as "Love Me Do" was going to be the group's debut release it needed to be re-recorded with a unlike drummer equally he was unhappy with the iv September pulsate sound^[37] (Abbey Road's Ken Townsend likewise recalls McCartney beingness dissatisfied with Starr's timing, due probably to his being under-rehearsed; Starr had joined the grouping just ii weeks before the 4 September session).^[38] Record producers at that time were used to hearing the bass drum "lock in" with the bass guitar equally opposed to the much looser R&B feel that was but get-go to sally, and so professional show band drummers were frequently used for recordings.

Ron Richards, placed in accuse of the 11 September re-recording session in George Martin's absence, booked Andy White whom he had used in the past. Starr was expecting to play, and was very disappointed to be dropped for only his second Beatles recording session: Richards remembers "He simply sat there quietly in the control box next to me. Then I asked him to play maracas on 'P.Southward. I Love You'. Ringo is lovely—always easy going".^[37] Starr recalled:

On my first visit in September nosotros just ran through some tracks for George Martin. We even did "Please Please Me". I remember that, because while we were recording information technology I was playing the bass drum with a maraca in ane hand and a tambourine in the other. I think information technology's because of that that George Martin used Andy White, the "professional", when we went down a week later to record "Love Me Do". The guy was previously booked, anyhow, because of Pete All-time. George didn't want to accept any more than chances and I was caught in the middle. I was devastated that George Martin had his doubts well-nigh me. I came downward ready to curl and heard, "Nosotros've got a professional drummer." He has apologised several times since, has old George, but it was devastating—I hated the bugger for years; I nonetheless don't permit him off the hook!^[39]

Paul McCartney: "George got his style and Ringo didn't pulsate on the first single. He just played tambourine. I don't think Ringo always got over that. He had to become dorsum upwards to Liverpool and everyone asked, 'How did information technology become in the Smoke?' We'd say, 'B-side's good,' but Ringo couldn't acknowledge to liking the A-side, non being on it" (from Anthology). "Love Me Exercise" was recorded with White playing drums and Starr on tambourine, but whether using a session drummer solved the problem is unclear, every bit session engineer Norman Smith was to comment: "It was a real headache trying to get a [adept] pulsate sound, and when you mind to the record now yous can inappreciably hear the drums at all."^[xl] Ringo Starr's version was mixed "bottom-light" to hibernate Starr'due south bass drum.^[41]

Early on pressings of the unmarried (issued with a red Parlophone label) are the 4 September version—minus tambourine—with Starr playing drums. But later pressings of the single (on a black Parlophone label), and the version used for the Please Please Me anthology, are the eleven September re-record with Andy White on drums and Starr on tambourine. This departure has become fundamental in telling the ii recordings of "Honey Me Practise" apart. Regarding the editing sessions that then followed all these various takes, Ron Richards remembers the whole thing existence a bit fraught, saying: "Quite honestly, by the fourth dimension it came out I was pretty sick of it. I didn't recollect information technology would do anything."^[42]

Ron Richards [edit]

There are major discrepancies regarding the White session, and who produced it. In his book Summer of Love, Martin concedes that his version of events differs from some accounts, saying: "On the 6 June Beatles session (audition) I decided that Pete All-time had to get [and said to Epstein] I don't care what you lot practise with Pete Best; but he's not playing on whatsoever more recording sessions: I'm getting a session drummer in."^[43] When Starr turned up with the group for their beginning proper recording session on iv September, Martin says that he was totally unaware that the Beatles had fired Best; and, non knowing "how good, bad or indifferent" Starr was, was not prepared to "waste precious studio time finding out."^[43] Martin, therefore, appears to take this as the Andy White session in which Martin was nowadays, and non 11 September. This contradicts Marker Lewisohn's business relationship, as in his volume The Consummate Beatles Recording Sessions, he has Starr on drums on 4 September^[22] and White for the xi September re-make.^[37] Lewisohn as well says that Richards was in charge on 11 September, which means, if authentic, that Richards was sole producer of the White version of "Love Me Do". Martin says, "My diary shows that I did not oversee any Beatles recording sessions on 11 September—only the one on 4 September."^[43] But, if Lewisohn'southward account is right and "the 4 September session really hadn't proved expert enough to satisfy George Martin",^[37] it might seem odd that Martin was non and so present to oversee the 11 September remake.

In his memoirs, assistant engineer Geoff Emerick supports the Lewisohn version, recounting that Starr played drums at the 4 September session (Emerick'due south 2d day at EMI) and that Martin, Smith, and McCartney were all dissatisfied with (the underrehearsed) Starr's timekeeping.^[44] Emerick places White firmly at the second session, and describes the reactions of Mal Evans and Starr to the substitution.^[45] Emerick also noted that Martin simply came in very belatedly for the 11 September session, after work on "Beloved Me Practice" was complete.^[45]

Andy White confirms that he was booked by Ron Richards for the 11 September session, not by George Martin, who he says "could not make the session, could not get there till the end, and then he had Ron Richards handle it". White also says that he recognises his own drumming on the released version of "Please Please Me", recorded that same session with him on drums.^[46] White, however was not at the studio for the final recording on 26 November and was merely hired for the xi September session (this run through with White tin be heard on Album 1).

Chart functioning [edit]

At first, U.s. copies of "Beloved Me Practise" were imported from Canada, which included Starr on drums.^[47] On 27 Apr 1964, Vee-Jay Records released the unmarried on the Tollie label^[48] with White on drums.

The song was the 4th of six songs past the Beatles to hit number one in a 1-yr period; an all-fourth dimension record for the United states charts. In social club, these were "I Desire to Agree Your Mitt", "She Loves Yous", "Tin't Buy Me Dear", "Love Me Do", "A Hard Day'south Night", and "I Feel Fine". Information technology was also the 4th of vii songs written by Lennon–McCartney to hitting number one in 1964 (the other being "A Earth Without Love", recorded by Peter and Gordon). That remains an all-time record on the US charts for writing the most songs to hitting number one in the same calendar year.
