The drum kit used by The Beatles on Love Me Do goes up for auction!
Love Me Do was The Beatles’ first Number One single in the U.S. in 1964. Ringo Starr did not play drums on the recording heard in 1960’s radio, session musician Andy White did. Andy filled in for Ringo who was playing the tambourine. Though the Beatles later re recorded Love Me Do with Ringo playing.
