My video of Dandelion, without voices, and without instruments. 12 string guitar... can anydoby give some light to the guitar tunning? Maybe open tuning? Whole tone down?

Interesting. Is the original flanged that much?
I'm not sure if that's PM on vocals.
Do we have recording dates for Dandelion?

I like shirts too but I like the music better.

Sounds like a 6 string comes in on top of the first acoustic earlier than you say in the video.

Was Dandelion recorded for TSMR or is it a late BTButtons sessions leftover? It sure doesn't seem like it would be from the BTButtons sessions based on how it sounds much more similar to We Love You, 2000 Man and Citadel in terms of the overall sound of it, the drums especially.

Other than the Beatles vocals on We Love You the others seem more like speculation imo.

Also The Satanic Sessions bootleg shows that Keith plays 12 string acoustic on In Another Land. Bill's story about the songs creation doesn't quite ring true because there Keith is helping out with the basic track.

Bill is probably remembering some earlier demo version or something which he then played to the others, then they set about making a proper version.

Dandelion sounds like it could be from BtB's session, but with some later instrument and vocal overdubs and mixing. For all we know it might not feature Nicky. The drums etc may sound clearer because it wasn't loaded with overdubs at the same time as other BtB's tracks.

Or it was all recorded in 1967 after the BtB's sessions hence clearer, more TSMR like sound.

According to Felix Aeppli, Dandelion was started as English Summer during the November 1966 sessions:

Interesting reading, imo...

Dandelion´s chorus sounds suspisciously Lennon/McCartney-esque.

According to Martin Elliott, 3 Nov - 6 Dec 1966, 12-13 Jun 1967.
Started in 66, the track was concluded at the June 67 Olympic session when We Love You was recorded

Play it live. Great tune.

I love listening to isolated tracks. Give us more, please.
