George Martin's strings for the WMGGW demo (Love soundtrack)

Sorry for the very long title but I wanted to talk about this beautiful arrangement George Martin had written in order to "embellish" George Harrison demo of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. The goal was to make it sound bigger in order for Cirque du Soleil to perform with that song.
It ended up on the Love album, soundtrack for the show.
For years I've been tracking down any oops version or remixes with no luck.
Would someone know if such a thing even exists : a strings only version ? We had a glimpse of it in the movie All Together Now but I want the whole thing.

Apologies but I try a re-up for this one.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the bother otherwise.

Ending up making it myself thanks to the extractions tool.
That's the closest I can do today.
If anybody else is interested. Those strings... oh George !
(mp3 only, sorry)

Yes, using the extraction site is Great . Your backing Track with Martin's Overdubs sounded Very Good . Thank You . I posted Elvis's Early ( '54-'55 ) Sun Studio songs here and they came out very good . Surprised me since they were originally recorded in Mono . I posted the Isolated Vocal Trax + the Isolated Backing Tracks .

Oh I'm going to look for them then. I like Elvis very much. Especially the early stuff.
