What song was number one when The Beatles released ‘Love Me Do’ in 1962? On October 5th, 1962, Elvis Presley was still the reigning King of ‘Pop Music’, his then latest single, ‘She’s Not You’, sitting comfortably atop the UK chart, midway through a total three-week reign. Dr No had been made on a modest budget with a lead actor whom few people at the time knew, while ‘Love Me Do’ was nearly not released at all. That harmonica, improbably, had been stolen by Lennon from a music shop in Arnhem during The Beatles’ trips to Hamburg. While none of it felt revolutionary, looking back, October 5th, 1962, reads like a changing of the guard.
