4 unusual facts about We Love You


The Trials of Oscar Wilde

The film was the inspiration for a promotional film made for the Rolling Stones song "We Love You"; the 1967 film, directed by Peter Whitehead, featured Mick Jagger as Wilde, Keith Richards as the Marquis, and Marianne Faithfull as Bosie.

We Love You

This single's two tracks would be the final Stones recordings receiving a production credit for band manager Andrew Loog Oldham.

It included footage from recording sessions along with segments that re-enacted the 1895 trial of Oscar Wilde, with Jagger, Richards and Marianne Faithfull respectively portraying Wilde, a judge and Lord Alfred Douglas.

Studio engineer George Chkiantz said that even though you have the delay between hitting the note and the sound coming out of the Mellotron, Jones managed to get "a tight rhythmic punch" for that record.
