This stereo versions of "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" have been created from the mono versions, because original master tapes are lost.

*DMM:
Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) is an analogue audio disc mastering technique issued by Neumann in cooperation with Teldec and Toolex in 1982. Unlike conventional disc mastering, where the mechanical audio modulation is cut onto a lacquer-coated aluminum disc, DMM cuts straight into metal (copper). The galvanic procedure that follows is not as complicated as the process for lacquers, and we can make stampers/matrixes directly from these plates, which can then be used for pressing.
