Good youtube video that plays all 3 versions of love me do and compares the drums of Pete, Ringo, and then Andy (though they use the wrong photo for Andy)

Thanks for the news and the links. Yet another part of The Beatles story gone. It's pretty amazing that this small contribution has forever made Andy's name familiar to fabs fans the world over. Nobody is just a footnote in fabdom; everybody is a part of the story! RIP Andy.

That's a good point. He played on one song, and there are other versions of that song without him. But we all know who he is. How often does that happen in the recording industry?

Rip. Sad to see another member of the Beatles family gone.
