Dr. Dre – Been There, Done That (US Promo 12" Single, Interscope INT8P-6088, Bestway First Stamper, 1996)

An original 1996 US promotional 12" single by Dr. Dre featuring "Been There, Done That", released on Interscope Records (INT8P-6088). The matrix INT8P-6088-A1 confirms this as an Interscope promo first stamper — the INT8P prefix is Interscope's dedicated promo designation, and the A1 stamper is the most desirable pressing configuration. The BG 2 dead wax stamp identifies this as a Bestway pressing — a quality mid-90s pressing facility used by Interscope, less commonly documented than SRC or Rainbo and a notable plant variant for serious collectors. Plain silver promo sleeve, period-correct for Interscope's mid-90s 12" promo presentation. EX vinyl, VG+ sleeve.

"Been There, Done That" (1996) is one of the most historically significant singles in Dr. Dre's catalog — his first release as a free agent after departing Death Row Records, and a deliberate artistic statement of independence. The smooth, jazz-inflected production was a conscious departure from gangsta rap, signaling the creative pivot that would lead directly to 2001 (1999). Collectors prize this record for that pivotal moment: the sound of Dr. Dre reinventing himself. A first stamper Bestway Interscope promo in EX condition is the definitive collector's copy of this landmark single.
