You people are cluless.
Pete Best as as exciting as milk.
Thats why they fired him
do you even know what the **** your talking about?.....Pete Best was pretty dam popular with the fans at that time......especially the girls who thought he was the best looking of the 4....and thats not why he was let go dumbass.....George Martin wanted a seasoned session Drummer for their first recording,because he felt Best was not up to snuff..... Brian Epstein did not want him to go because....he was popular.....John liked the guy.....Paul and George did not......so it was decided to let him go.....a session Drummer named Andy White was used on "Love Me Do" while Ringo sat in the Control room....
from Allmusic....
"Love Me Do" was recorded by the Beatles on three different occasions with three different drummers:
The Beatles first recorded it on 6 June 1962 with Pete Best on drums, as part of their audition at EMI Studios at 3 Abbey Road in London. This version (previously thought to be lost) is available on Anthology 1.
By 4 September, Best had been replaced with Ringo Starr (producer George Martin did not approve of Best's drumming; the decision to fire Best was not his, however), and on that day the Beatles with Starr recorded a version again at EMI Studios.
One week later, on 11 September, the Beatles returned to the same studio and they made a recording of "Love Me Do" with session drummer Andy White on drums, as Martin was unhappy with Starr's performance on 4 September and he was relegated to playing tambourine. As the tambourine was not included on the 4 September recording, this is the easiest way to distinguish between the Starr and White recordings.
