To celebrate two decades since the record that started global Beatlemania, Parlophone issued this beautiful 1982 UK limited edition 20th anniversary picture disc of "Love Me Do". Bearing the custom catalogue number RP 4949, this collectible 7-inch release stands out as a highly visual artefact from the early 1980s commemorative campaign. The disc itself features iconic imagery of the Fab Four on the surface and comes housed in its original clear PVC sleeve, offering a complete, clean, and beautifully preserved layout for serious pop archives.

The tracks preserved on this 45rpm single deliver the foundational sounds of British rock history. Side A features the historic debut song "Love Me Do", written by the legendary songwriting partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, featuring the famous acoustic bass, harmonica hooks, and vocal arrangements. Flipping the picture disc over reveals the brilliant harmonies of "P.S. I Love You" on Side B. This anniversary run allowed fans in the early 1980s to reconnect with the group's earliest Merseybeat roots in a brand-new audio-visual presentation.

We grade both the picture disc and the clear PVC sleeve in Excellent (EX/EX) condition. The vinyl surface is remarkably bright, retaining a deep lustre, while the transparent packaging has survived in incredibly crisp shape without the clouding or splitting that often plagues vintage PVC. At Planet Earth Records, we hand-inspect every collectible item under specialised, ultra-bright grading lights to ensure maximum accuracy.
