Description
This is a genuine original DEMONSTRATION sample of the 1967 Rolling Stones release We Love You/Dandelion, both written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richard. This single's two tracks were the final Stone's recordings to receive a production credit for the band's manager Andrew Loog Oldham.
A RARITY indeed, especially in this superb condition.
In addition both sides have FIRST PRESS stamper codes, thus increasing the value to Rolling Stones and Demo record collectors alike.

Matrices: We Love You: XDR - 41128 - T2 - 1C Dandelion: XDR - 41129 - T1 - 1C
Stamper Codes: We Love You: 1 G Dandelion: 1 MU
The vinyl is in lovely condition with no scratches or marks visible to my naked eye. It has been played of course and there are some spindle marks on the labels, which I try to show in the pics. Otherwise the labels are very clean. Both sides play cleanly, with no crackle, hiss, sticking or jumping and the sound reproduction is superb. The original Decca swirl sleeve is in very good condition, with no writing or other marks or stickers.
I would rate this record - using Record Collector's grading system - as Excellent+. However, I would never seek to mislead anyone, so if it does not meet expectation I will accept return of the record (in it's present condition) and make full refund.
The record will be despatched in a 7" mailer, with stiffeners, using recorded delivery (UK) or Airmail for overseas.
I am only selling this rarity because I am not a true collector - I DO collect 50's and 60's records as a hobby, but it's more about nostalgia for me, not rareities. This record deserves to be with a genuine Stones or Demo collector and I will be happy if it goes to one.
Payment by PayPal, except if collected in person, when cash will be accepted.
Overseas bidders note - if successful, please confirm postage costs with me before making payment.
