is it also true that Pete Wylie did the vocals for the original > grey-vinyl "It's Grim Up North"? It certainly is. Thanks for that! I'd always wondered. But in that case, is the hit version of "It's Grim Up North", with its "Part 1" and "Part 2", a reference to Wylie's own "The Story of the Blues" (Parts 1 & 2)? I always thought it was an affectionate tribute to the Fall, and their single "Hit the North" (which has a part 1 & part 2), but maybe I'm wrong! John Further up north than "up north"

3 am somewhere out of Beaumont Texas

I used to live in Beaumont Texas. The town sucks!!! I even graduated from College there. I always thought that it was funny about the names of the Chill Out CD. I also partied in Louisiana all the time. Why did they name all these tracks for Southern States especially Texas?

Am not really interested in that trip, but I think this is one of the best tracks KLF ever made. Maarten _________________________________________________________________ MSN Zoeken, voor duidelijke zoekresultaten! http://search.msn.nl

Thanks for clearing that up, Donald! I was actually listening to "Circle of Salt" when I read your post! It IS a good song. Following in the same vein, is it also true that Pete Wylie did the vocals for the original grey-vinyl "It's Grim Up North"? John Not Scots, just Scott-ish.

I don't have the album in hand but here's the info from Lazlo's discography Pete Wylie And WAH! The Mongrel: Infamy! or "How I Didn't Get Where I Am Today" [1991] album CD: 1991 UK (Siren Records Ltd; CDSRN 33) ["Executive Production by The KLF"; tracks 4, 7-10 produced by Nick Coler/Ian Richardson/Pete Wylie] Track 4, "Circle of Salt" is the only one they produced. It has a similar sound to some of the WR demo tracks with the exception of the Wylie vocal. It would be interesting to get a hold of an instrumental version. Is there any way to separate the vocal in something like sound forge?

One area of the KLF's recording career I've always been a bit shaky on is their involvement with Drummond's old mate Pete Wylie on his album "Infamy" (attributed to Pete and Wah! The Mongrel) in 1991. The KLF are mentioned on the sleeve, and also in the inlay case of Wylie's 2000 anthology the "Handy Wah Whole" (great title!) - but I'm not sure whether they were the album's producers, remixers, or merely hung around the studio. Can anyone enlighten me?
