Love Me Do Variations List

Love Me Do /
P.S. I Love You

45.5189.13.1 | Retro Rainbow (Columbia)

This variation (45.5189.13.1) is the last pressing of Love Me Do in Canada. This is more or less the "regular" issue of the 20th anniversary v version, with the new catalogue nubmer and misleading STEREO designation, but this time, on the more common retro rainbow label. This variation was pressed by Columbia around 1984.


Availability

This variation was available between 1984 when Columbia started to repress the Beatles' back catalogue, and circa early 1986 (for approximately 3 years) when Capitol stopped producing Beatles vinyl records.

General Information

This pressing was only available in Mono, even though it was marked as stereo (no stereo mix exists).


Pressing Information

This record is identical to the earlier 20th anniversary record, except for the label design that is now the retro rainbow label. This particular pressing was prepared and pressed by Columbia. Matrix numbers are as follows:


Side A: B-5189-1 1A2HZ
Side B: B-5189-2 1A2HZ


Cover

This regular stock disc was sold in a grey checkered mylar Capitol sleeve until 1987 where it could be found in a fireworks sleeve.
