According to Ringo in the Anthology, White only replaced him on the single version of Love me do/PS I love you, and when that one proved a commercial success, George Martin allowed Ringo participation in the 1-day studio session for the Please please me album. As Ringo put it in the Anthology, Andy White "didn't play that good I couldn't copy him when we did the album." So it seems like the album version of both songs include Ringo, as based on what White had done on the single. --79.193.34.132 (talk) 13:40, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Please Please Me" was not rerecorded during the PPM sessions. During those sessions, they recorded 10 new songs, and added the 4 songs previously released on singles to the album to make 14 tracks. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 21:17, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Who said anything about the Please please me single? I was talking about Love me do/PS I love you above. It was Andy White who drummed on the single version of those two, and Ringo on the album version. To specify, I'm talking about the Anthology TV series as the source for Ringo's quote above, not the accompanying book. --79.193.52.67 (talk) 21:18, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clear this up five years later - Ringo is incorrect. (it's always bothered me that this misinformation is in the Anthology episode.) Ringo does NOT play on the album version. He has forgotten that "Love Me Do" was not recorded during the sessions for the album. As noted above, only 10 songs were recorded - "Love Me Do", "PS I Love You", "Please Please Me" and "Ask Me Why" were already recorded and released as singles. The Andy White version was the one selected for the album.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 19:00, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Beatles image

I commented-out the Beatles image because I feel it is completely unnecessary in an article about someone who--while he did record with them--is not included in the image. If I'm wrong, well, it's easy enough to fix. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 15:47, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it's not really necessary (I was the one who put it there when I expanded the article). I've removed it completely. —Bruce1ee^talk 09:36, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
