BACK IN 1960s DEMO RECORDS WERE MADE IN A QUANTITY OF APPROX 250- A FEW WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE RELEASE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

THE NUMBER MADE LIKE THIS WERE PROBABLY NO MORE THAN 250 AS THERE WERE NOT MANY RADIO STATIONS OR RECORD REVIEWERS IN THE UK IN 1960s WITH MAYBE JUST A FEW INDUSTRY PEOPLE,PRODUCERS,FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE ARTIST AND THE OCCASIONAL IMPORTANT VISITOR TO THE RECORD COMPANY! EITHER WAY,IT'S STILL ONE OF THE MOST TREASURED PRESSES FOR ROLLING STONES COLLECTORS !

THE MAJORITY WERE PLAYED AND BADLY DAMAGED,THROWN OUT OR IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS WHO WILL NEVER SELL!
