[edit] Love Me Do

Although Martin used a session drummer for The Beatles' first single—as many producers did at the time

As any reliable Beatle source will tell you, the original British single of Love Me Do used a take featuring Ringo on drums. It's the version on the album Please Please Me that uses session man Andy White on drums. By all accounts, the Andy White version didn't turn up on a UK single until 1976, when Love Me Do was reissued by Parlophone along with numerous other Beatle singles. 217.155.20.163 (talk) 20:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

In that case, please provide any reliable Beatle source to that effect. Cheers, Vera, Chuck & Dave (talk) 21:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

You are quite correct my friend! Ringo did play on the first red label pressing: Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide p99. I have ammended the article, thanks! Vera, Chuck & Dave (talk) 18:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Best's dimissal

Waiting for a page number and a quote about what Epstein said in the office.... --andreasegde (talk) 16:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Funny thing, I just watched an episode of I've Got a Secret from the Spring of 1964 where Pete Best was a contestant and his secret was "I quit my job two years ago". After the game, he said he quit the Beatles to form his own group and that he did not know they would become even more popular and regretted leaving a little bit.EagleFan (talk) 13:30, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] picture

I suggest adding a picture of him or at least his face in the table. Paul Italiano 20:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

There was a really great one of him sitting behind his kit in Hamburg 'til the image police zapped it! Cheers, Vera, Chuck & Dave (talk) 20:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I will upload that one again and put it lower down in the article, but only if you remind me to do it. :) --andreasegde (talk) 15:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
