Hi all, Unfortunately I need to raise some cash so have had to place some items on ebay. Pete Robinson book Justified And Ancient History The Unfolding Story Of The KLF 4009726257, and loads of original biogs and info direct from Trancentral 4009725194. I know this is a shameless plug, but needs must.

Yup, Jimmy's tune sounds like a straight remix of the theme to the 1969 movie "The Love Bug" to me. I would also think that Jimmy, with his love of anthromorphic American cars will number on them, may well have had a soft spot for Herbie when he was a kid! Oh, and Simon, a quick shufty round Google should show up a few "Red Hand Gang" facts, and even the theme tune as an mp3 (thanks to TV Cream). My memories of it are hazy (check here for other people's similar recollections: http://www.culttelly.co.uk/rhgmem.html) but I do recall one character (called Peter?) who used to whistle tunes through a hollowed out sweet potato. And, of course, that the show was very popular in Ulster.

Apart from "The Children's Film Foundation" there was "The Film Board of Canada", which is where the band take their name from. The one I remember most from them was the film version of Ray Bradbury's kid's-living-on-Venus short story "All Summer in a Day". Every school in the country has these movies gathering dust (and no DVD release!)

One bit of an episode sticks in my mind as I thought it was cool then, but stupid now.

The line went (I'm paraphrasing of course; I was only about 6 at the time): > > Gangster #1: "Boss!

RE: Re: [KLF] "The Sheriff of Mu Mu County"

Not sure if Jon Mace is still around, Sebastian. I haven't heard from him for a while (apologies, Jon, if I'm overlooking something obvious). Sadly, a Google search for "Sheriff of Mu Mu County" only reveals a couple of posts here from mid-2003 (both featuring myself rather heavily - which makes me wonder, did I dream the whole thing?) It seems strange, though, with songs like "Love Trance" and "Turn Up the Strobe" causing such controversy despite (possibly) never being recorded, that here we have a song that definitely existed (both in its earlier "Lover's Side" incarnation and its later "Stadium House" mix) ... and yet any evidence of, even amongst uber-fans like Dutton and Lazlo, seems not to be there. Still, nice to have a wee bit of it on that download, as everyone has been saying. I wonder when this DVD will be appearing then? I know through other bands that cash-in DVDs can be pretty horrible affairs ... I hope this isn't going to be one of them.

"The Sheriff of Mu Mu County"
by John Milne 01 Aug '05

http://www.thesoundof.mu/ Finally downloaded the "soundtrack" to the documentary from the above (which is, in fact, a megamix of things like KLF8R and KLF5R "Blue Danube" etc.) At one point, you can hear a snippet of "The Sheriff of Mu Mu County", the unreleased track from the 1990 "White Room" sessions, complete with the melody and trumpet from "The Lover's Side" (the unreleased track from the 1989 "White Room" sessions). Is this just lifted from "Brandnew"'s documentary of recording sessions at Trancentral (like Bill's speech about "Pure Trance" on a mix of WTIL which came out a couple of years back) - or is it maybe taken from another source? Is there a full demo version out there somewhere? Also - anyone have any idea why "Sheriff of Mu Mu County" never appeared on the "White Room" album? It seems as if they updated every other track from the 1989 soundtrack (apart from the not-topical-anymore "KSTJ"; and "Born Free", which was released by Vic Reeves as a cover about month after "The White Room" came out) - so why not "Sheriff of Mu Mu County"? I've always loved the melody. John

Is Dutton a Bananarama fan? I bought the first KLF one (there are at least three) on a speculative "buy it now". It contains a bizarre array of remixes from the first KLF Vs. Germany a-side, through to "The Iron Horse", the 8-minute "Tardis" and two megamixes. All, probably, mp3s from an ftp, I suspect. No sign of any remixing done by "Ascension" themselves. However, they have released a whole series of mix CDs, including Bananarama and Depeche Mode (no idea whether the Trancentral "Policy of Truth" mix is on there). All eighties stuff. All compiled from mp3s, I suspect. I also have a feeling they are an American company.

The Dogg Bite Mix/Ben Liebrand
by John Milne 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hi, I recently got hold of the first of the Ascension series of KLF remix CDs which have appeared on ebay the last two months (this one has the new KLF Vs. Germany WTIL mix on it). It also features the Dogg Bite Mix mentioned as "The Ben Liebrand Megamix". Did the "Eve of the War" remixer actually do this one too, or is it more a case of mis-brand than Liebrand? ;-) Mu mu and Ulla! John

Has anyone bought these? Forget Dutton, who is producing these? Are the tracks mixed together or are these just mini compilations (30-something minutes?) compiled from easily-available mp3s? With covers produced using the simplest label-making software and, apparently, a spirograph? The description is priceless too: "The original Bananarama sound brought up to date by a superb bunch of mix-masters" eh? Made me laugh though =) tbc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
