After being arrested as part of an allegedly framed drug bust at Keith Richards' estate, Mick Jagger made like a contemporary Oscar Wilde and penned the lyrics to "We Love You" from a holding cell, offering a word of thanks to the band's supporters, fans, and the editorial page of the London Times, who urged judicial restraint in the case. In the flower-power parlance of the era, Jagger takes the high road and turns the other cheek, gently portraying the authorities as neo-fascists, while the singer and his ilk exist outside of and above it all: "We don't care if you hound we/And love is all around we/Love can't get our minds off we love you/You will never win we/Your uniforms don't fit we/We forget the place we're in 'cause we love you." Employing help on background vocals from the Beatles' John Lennon and Paul McCartney, who were returning the favor of Jagger and Richards singing on their "All You Need Is Love" single, "We Love You" opens up with the ominous sounds of a jail-cell door slamming and boot steps climbing stairs. While the song is a harbinger of the psychedelic forays to come on the Stones' next album, Their Satanic Majesty's Request (1967), the song remains footed in the band's familiar blues and R&B terrain. A driving and insistent piano riff from Nicky Hopkins makes up the foundation of the song, which also veers into such typically post-Sgt. Peppers flourishes as Mellotron string parts, flutes, and brass punctuation, all played by resident musical prodigy Brian Jones. But along the way there are other inspired and more traditional performances, such as Bill Wyman's funky R&B bass line and Charlie Watts' Bo Diddley-beat drum fills. Jagger, Richards, and the two Beatles' vocals soar against the building, violent, pseudo-Arabic climax. Released as a single in the U.K., it went to number eight. In the States, "We Love You" was released as the B-side to "Dandelion." The legendary comic-relief punk rock band the Damned, noted Stones aficionados, covered "We Love You," which they released on their Sessions of the Damned, a collection of BBC sessions. Their version speeds up the tempo and accents the rock aspects of the song, thrashing away on buzzsaw guitars but also nodding to its psychedelic origins with wah-wah guitar solos and multi-layered vocals.

Incredible! What we have here is one of the finest specimens of the Rolling Stones singles during their "Psychedelic" phase, circa late 1966/early 1967. While this classic Stones single in its incredibly rare ACETATE form does not appear to be significantly different from the commercially released MONO version, it is very different from the STEREO version: the psychedelic flourishes (mellotron) at the end of the song are much more dramatic than on the widely known STEREO version (the acetate will give you an idea where Led Zeppelin got their idea for the ending of their "In The Light" epic off of Physical Graffiti album nearly 10 years later); and the rhythm section and the vocal parts are much more robust than on the stereo album version. A truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind Rolling Stones rarity. Yes, folks: You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you might get what you need!

While this acetate is in a VERY NICE state of preservation, we do expect bidders to understand that the aluminum-based, shellac-coated acetates can never be graded by using the exact, same stringent standards used by collectors for modern long-play, hi-fi LPs or singles. The buyer – if not familiar with acetate (reference) recordings - should be cautioned that these discs were intended for brief, limited use only; they were meant to be played only a few times, then discarded or destroyed. In view of this, the surface layer of the disc is manufactured in such a manner that it will wear off pretty quickly, even under normal conditions -- and specially if not handled with due care. Each subsequent playing increases wear and tear of the disc’s surface layer and diminishes the disc’s playability. This disc appears to have been unplayed recently and the grooves are still well-formed and fully visible.

This acetate is in STRONG VERY GOOD TO VERY GOOD+ (VG+) condition, with some superficial but visible scuffs on the surface . Absolutely NO part of the shellac (surface layer) of the disc is missing, and the surface layer is NOT dented, chipped, broken or otherwise compromised. The disc plays beautifully, with only a sporadic light crackling noise (nothing dramatic), and in full frequency and dynamic range and without any distortion whatsoever.

ON A SCALE FROM 1-10 (where 10 is the best), WE GRADE THIS ACETATE AS 5

· SLEEVE : This acetate comes without any custom or picture sleeve and will be shipped in a plain white poly-lined sleeve (not separately graded)
