You are bidding on a Rare 2012 Mispressing with the wrong mix of 'Love Me Do' (Alan White Version) and incorrect catalogue number of 45-R 4714 on the B side.

This is an Exclusive UK 50th Anniversary Re-issue of the Beatles debut,which should have featured the 'Original Single Version' with Ringo Starr on drums. 

However, only the first pressing of Love Me Do originally contained this version, with the more common version being the LP version with Alan White on drums, and Ringo playing tambourine. 

This is the first pressing of this anniversary disc featuring the wrong version of 'Love Me Do' which was hastily withdrawn & re-called by EMI on orders from Apple. The correct version was later issued on 22nd October.

Apple have re-created the original Red Parlophone label and multicoloured sleeve, using the 2009 remasters for the Audio.

The Record is unused and both record and sleeve are Excellent (virtually mint). 

Will Ship UK and Worldwide.

Payment to be received within 3 days of  the Auction ending.
