(sic) THE KLF DID NOT BURN A MILLION POUNDS
by Maarten Bouwes 10 Feb '02

>From the Mancentral files: Hello there. This is the first time I've checked out websites relating to the KLF. To find a huge number of dedicated sites including Bill Drummond's own "plan your own funeral" website should have came as no surprise. Who am I? I'm the nephew of a close friend and ex-schoolmate of Bill Drummond. In 1990 the KLF and their entourage set up camp on the Isle Of Jura with the aid of my uncle. Over the course of several days they managed to shoot some videos, do some frankly dubious things involving sheep, and then, according to legend, decided to burn a million quid - more on this in a bit. Sadly my uncle passed away a few years after the KLF's visit. He was a lovely and eccentric guy with some strange quirks. The fact that he was friends with someone as fundamentally strange as Bill Drummond now makes perfect sense. Anyway, I decided to post on this website just to clear up a widely-held myth: THE KLF DID NOT BURN A MILLION POUNDS. Well, not quite. The day after that legendary art-publicity stunt, a guy walking along Jura Beach towards the boathouse found an abundance of half-burnt fifty pound notes scattered amongst the seaweed. Some of the notes were in fact intact, and he managed to collect together a few thousand of your finest pounds sterling. The guy was my dad, and as no-one claimed the money back, he was eventually allowed to keep it - he donated the money to good causes. Whether Bill and Jimmy know about the unburned money is not clear - my guess is that they are happy to say they burnt a million quid and would like to leave it at that. By the way I'm a huge fan of Bill Drummond and the KLF, but if they truly believe they burnt a whole million pounds one night on a remote Scottish island, well, I think someone should inform them otherwise. Ooo ;) LaatÃ¢, Maarten _________________________________________________________________ Meld je aan bij de grootste e-mailservice wereldwijd met MSN Hotmail: http://www.hotmail.com/nl

E-train
by Allister Cleal 09 Feb '02

Writing this beats watching pop idol, so here goes: After skulking through the mailing list archives (avoiding the Mrs watching pop idol) I note that a white label of E-train to trancentral may have surfaced about a year ago. Did anyone manage to follow this one up? I seem to remember someone claimed to have heard it and likened it to the 5 seconds of an unheard 'go to sleep' on the white room movie. Did we get any further than that? Al

RE: [KLF] Justified T-Rex
by James Parker 08 Feb '02

08 Feb '02

I was having a rummage through my old cd singles at the weekend and i was reminded that i have two copies of Justified & Ancient on cd single, one is the UK version with the speakers on the disc and the other is the plain black Blow-Up release. Anyway my UK version does NOT contain any KLF music whatsoever in fact its actaully the Best of T-Rex compilation that was released at that time to capitalise on the use of Get It On on a TV advert. Has anyone else come across one of these? I assume that there was a cock up at the pressing plant and this one escaped detection by quality control. ------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail message and any attachment(s) are CONFIDENTIAL and may contain legally privileged information.
