From 45cat:

This is the re-issue of the 5th October 2012 single with the correct version of the A side.

EMI reissued the single on 22nd October with the version of Love Me Do that features Ringo on drums, although the B Side still carries the wrong catalogue # R 4714.

This release has BC91232-01A etched in the run-out groove of the A Side, but retains BC88258-01B1 etched in the run-out groove of the B Side as per the 5th October release.

This release has shinier/glossier silver print on the label which is much clearer. The playback sound level is quieter than the 5th October release.
