I have an earlier post of the original US release here. In that post I included a version of “Love Me Do”, where Ringo played the drums. I think he did well. Here’s a “Live at the BBC” recording of “P.S. I Love You” – he does well here, too. I think Martin was a bit hasty to initially reject Ringo.
This was issued for the 20th anniversary of the original UK release.
