THE BEATLES Love Me Do (Debut 1962 UK first press red label 7" single, also featuring P.S. I Love You, original die-cut Parlophone company sleeve. Note: this label variant does not have the 'Made In Great Britain' print. The matrices in the run-outs are machine stamped & both end '1N' & the ZT tax code is stamped in the run-out, indicating a pressing made before November 1962 when the code changed to PT. This earliest matrix suffix means that Ringo plays drums & is a 'no tambourine' version. We are grading this copy as Good, the vinyl shows obvious surface marks, with a few cracks/pops in the quieter passages; however after playtesting we can confirm that the sound is still great with no jumps. The previous owner wrote a monogram on both sides but the sleeve has no tears or paper loss, making for a very serviceable gap-filler in the collection 45-R4949)
