Lennon designated this song as his "least favourite Beatles song" in a 1973 interview and later said it was the song he most regretted writing.

They may have gone on to more sophisticated pieces, but Love Me Do sounded pretty far-out in 1962, I'm sure. There is something so incredibly fresh and unique about it. Compare it to other 'pop'records released by fellow British acts at the time and you'll surely hear how this track stands out.

But we digress from Love Me Do! I just read how EMI had pressed and released a 50 anniversary vinyl 45, and then recalled them! And destroyed them! However, several promo copies went out and a few London stores had them and undoubtably did not send all the copies back, making another instant highly sought after collectable! Thanks EMI.
