Text
You know I love you I'lI always be true
Now and then, love me do.
And know it's true
It's all because of you
And if I make it through
It's all because of you
And now and then, if we must start again
Then we will know for sure
That I will love you
Now and then, I want you to be there for me
Always to return to me.
Love, love me do
You know I love you
Music transcends time.
Love transcends time.

On October 5, 1962, The Beatles’ debut single, “Love Me Do,” was released in the UK.
“I remember when they did ‘Love Me Do,’ their first record, and George told us it might be going to be on Radio Luxembourg. We stayed up till two o’clock, glued to the set, and nothing happened. Harold went to bed, as he had to be up at five for the early shift on the buses. In the end, I went up to bed as well. I was just in the bedroom, when George came rushing up the stairs with the radio, shouting ‘We’re on, we’re on.’ Harold woke up and said, ‘Who’s brought that noisy gramophone in here?’” - Louise Harrison, The Beatles: The Authorized Biography (1968)
“The first time I heard ‘Love Me Do’ on the radio, I went shivery all over.” - George Harrison, ibid (x)

Love Me Do
"They forced us to do a version of How Do You Do It? We wouldn't let them put it out. We said we'd sooner have no contract than put that crap out; all the tantrums bit.
We thought it was rubbish compared with Love Me Do.
We thought ours had more meaning."
-John Lennon calling Love Me Do meaningful
[Interview by Paul Drew, US radio, April 1975]

"He wants to call the book John Lennon in his Own Write, a title suggested by Paul."

I noticed immediately that the new mix of Love Me Do really highlights the nerves audible in Paul's voice, but it just occurred to me what a choice that was.
Yes, it's a natural consequence of the way the tech clarifies everything, but it wasn't their only option. Paul often mentions it, but I wouldn't have noticed it in the original mix if he hadn't said it. So they had the option to at least make more subtle. But it's right there at the front: that famously smooth voice wobbly with nerves (as it's wobbly with age in the new single).
Paul says "Love me, do" not only to the object of his affections within the song in 1963, but to us as fans 60 years later. He's nervous about how his message will be heard.
Now add to that Paul's love of double meanings, and the fact that "now and then" can mean "occasionally" but it can also mean "both in the present and in the past".
Paul misses John and George, and has been missing them for a long time. He wants to express it in a way that will be heard. And he always could say these things better with their help.

The girls walk over to John. "How do you write the songs?" says the girl whose name is Daphne. John doesn't answer.
Paul shouts across the room in a voice you use to an errant child, "Tell us about the songs, John, tell us about the songs."
"Sometimes we write them together," says John. "Sometimes not. Some of them take four hours; some twenty minutes. Others have been known to take as long as three weeks."
~Love Me Do, Michael Braun 1964
Just love how John doesn't react to anybody but Paul.

The Beatles in Hamburg, November 1962; photos by Astrid Kirchherr.
On October 5, 1962, “Love Me Do” c/w "P.S. I Love You" was released as a single in the UK.
“First hearing ‘Love Me Do’ on the radio sent me shivery all over. It was the best buzz of all time.” - George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology (2000)
“I remember when they did ‘Love Me Do,’ their first record, and George told us it *might* be going to be on Radio Luxembourg. We all stayed up till two o’clock, glued to the set, and nothing happened. Harold went to bed, as he had to be up at five for the early shift on the buses. In the end, I went up to bed as well. I was just in the bedroom, when George came rushing up the stairs with the radio, shouting, ‘We’re on, we’re on.’ Harold woke up and said, ‘Who’s brought that noisy gramophone in here?’” - Louise Harrison; from the introduction to the 2002 edition of The Beatles: The Authorized Biography (1968)
As for the photo session featured in this post...
“At first I didn’t like [these] at all. Brian said, ‘They’ve got these new suits,’ and he wanted shots that were nice and neat. I didn’t know where to put them. It was a completely different feel from my usual work. [...] George looks like Peter Pan [in the photo of him seated]! I took this session in Reinhart Wolf’s studio. Usually, I preferred to use daylight, but that was taken with flash." - Astrid Kirchherr, The Beatles: Classic, Rare & Unseen (x)
