My price guide indicates that "The Last Time" (London 9741) was the last Rolling Stones 45 available on the purple & white label, and it was available on the blue swirl label with the London label name in either white text or black text.

Yep, the transition took place in early 1965. The first time I encountered the blue swirl design was when I bought the Moodies' "Go Now!" Both new and old designs were in the bin, and while I really liked the look of the blue swirl, I opted for the purple-and-white design, for reasons forgotten since early '65.

Interesting that they started using the new style label
for promos a good 6 months earlier. Doubly so since
promos for the purple and white labels were the same as
stock copies except for "promotional copy" added.
