High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "P.S. I Love You" is a song composed principally by Paul McCartney, recorded by The Beatles and released on 5 October 1962 as the B-side of their "Love Me Do" single. It is included on their 1963 album Please Please Me. It was later included on the Beatles compilation Love Songs. The version featured on the single and album was recorded in ten takes on 11 September 1962 at EMIs Abbey Road Studios, London. Producer George Martin had booked session drummer Andy White as a replacement for Pete Best, whom he considered not technically good enough for recording purposes (Martin was unaware that Best had been fired and replaced by Ringo Starr who plays maracas on this song). White was a freelance showband and session drummer, and gave the recording a lightweight cha cha treatment.
