This is a rare and collectible 7" vinyl single by the legendary band, THE BEATLES. The record features the hit songs "LOVE ME DO” (‘63 Version) and "PS I LOVE YOU” and is a first OLDIES 45 pressing from late 1964, formerly a Tollie 9008 single from Spring 1964, which was reissued as OL-151 for the Christmas sales season.

Remember, there are 2 versions of LOVE ME DO on 45. The early 1962 Ringo on drums version , most commonly the Canada Capitol swirl record, taken from the UK 45 which was released in 1962, and the more common US Tollie version which was taken from the UK PLEASE PLEASE ME LP, released in 1963. All albums snd EPs worldwide used the “standard” 1963 Andy White on drums version!!!

Capitol Records had sued VeeJay and gotten a court order to not issue any further VJ Beatles records. So they changed the label name from VJ and Tollie to Oldies!!! They thought that would work! It did for a short while till they were sued and lost again!!

The sleeve included is common White! And the vinyl has been graded as Excellent (EX), ensuring high-quality sound. There were lots of these OLDIES 45 reissues that did not sell and hit the market unplayed in later years!

Note: the OLDIES 45 labels with large White letters (see image 1-2) are originals, while any you see with similar large Black lettering (see image 7) are counterfeit!! Avoid them unless you are aware and want one!!!

The record label is OLDIES 45 and the catalog number is OL-151. The release title is "LOVE ME DO” and “PS I LOVE YOU” and it is a British Invasion style rock and roll original. The vinyl is black in color and is made of high-quality material. This item is perfect for any Beatlemania collector or vinyl record enthusiast. Enjoy!
