COMMENTS
In England, Parlophone issued a series of picture discs to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the release dates of its Beatles singles, starting with Love Me Do b/w P.S. I Love You, which was originally released on October 5, 1962.
Although Capitol passed on the single, its Canadian subsidiary issued the disc in early 1963 and began importing copies to the U.S. a year later when Beatlemania exploded in the States. The songs first appeared on a U.S.-manufactured single in late April, 1964, on Tollie 9001. Unlike the Canadian disc and original U.K. pressings, that single used the later album version of Love Me Do, which has Andy White on drums and Ringo on tambourine. That version of the song was used when the single was pressed as part of Capitol's Star Line series (Capitol 6062) on October 11, 1965.
Capitol released its own 20th anniversary single on November 19, 1982, six weeks after the actual anniversary date.

The disc has the later version of Love Me Do. Although the labels state that the songs are stereo, they are pure mono.
The picture sleeve features an alternate Angus McBean photo from the same session that produced the pictures used on the Please Please Me and Introducing The Beatles album covers. The back of the sleeve has Love Me Do in red block letters followed by a plug for Capitol's recently released 20 Greatest Hits LP.

The record was pressed with labels patterned after the Capitol swirl labels from the sixties. The dises were manufactured by Capitol's Jacksonville and Winchester factories. Capitol issued a promo disc.
