"What Time is Love" questions
by John Milne 12 Sep '05

Again, I'm wondering if someone can answer these! KLF4T was released in autumn 1988 with 1000 copies. After eight weeks, according to Jimmy, it was deleted. Does this mean when KLF4R came out in July 89, you could not net KLF4T? Did all the 1000 copies of 4T sell out the first time, or were they rarities even in the summer of 1989? How many of the 4Ts we all have are actually the 1991 reissues? Finally (phew!) were there ever any reviews in the press of the Pure Trance series when it came out? John

"Justified and Ancient" KLF Vs. Germany
by John Milne 12 Sep '05

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4767931593 Managed to grab this on ebay. Did I miss the actual release of this? I remember some talk of it back in midsummer, and then nothing. Also - how many KLF Vs. 12"s are there going to be? I seem to remember 10 being mentioned - but at this slow release rate that would take until late 2007 wouldn't it? Just in time for the end of the 20th anniversary year, I suppose! John

Yes, it was me, Paul. And I'm sure everyone says thanks for the generous upload! (I lost my file of it years ago, and only had a dodgy VCD).

Blacksmoke Band

http://www.thewaroftheworlds.com/news/newsstory.aspx?id=23 Jeff Wayne's Musical War of the Worlds stage show, featuring the Black Smoke Band! Not, of course, Jimmy - but interesting considering those who saw a link between the 5/11 "black smoke" images and some paperback covers of H G Wells' novel. John Ancient of Ulla

RE: [KLF] Chipping Norton : Live footage (was Deep Shit)
by John Milne 11 Sep '05

DVD-Audio is yet to be explored in any way, I think. The BBC recently released its first radio show on the format (the first new series of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy") - and if 5.1 can be used for anything it must be (a) ambient music and (b) radio drama (both of which collide with Arthur Dent and his galacic wanderings!)

A long time ago, someone on this list sent me a CDR of KLF stuff (sorry, can't remember who) and an 8 minute mpeg of this footage was included with. From what I recall, Andy is a bit unsure about having this footage in the public domain (sorry if I'm speaking for you here, Andy) as it was apparently footage recorded by the KLF themselves and submitted to "The Word" (TV show of the early nineties) for showing, but they rejected it. Anyway, here's a quick description ... The first scene appears to be filmed in Trancentral, with Jimmy, Bill and Cress and various others congregating round first a road map ("that's where the rave is folks" says Bill) and then a bag of money (the infamous Scottish pound notes?) It looks late at night, and maybe taken inside a van rather than in the Stockwell Squat. Cressida is wearing a distinctive blood red top - can't remember if it has a JAMs or KLF logo on it. We then cut to the rave (Chipping Norton?) with about a minute of footage of just flashing lights and strobes, and 808 State playing audibly in someone's DJ set. Then an announcer says something like "KLF in the middle of the field ... playing all their smash hits, check it out party people!" and we cut to Bill and Jimmy atop a 20-foot rig. Hanging over this are a couple of keyboards, Bill is wearing his "Martin Bormann" leather jacket and Jimmy is wearing his trapper's hat. There's also a huge disco ball and some dry ice, but it all looks rather wobbly. The footage is shot from the ground, and we hear people cheering as Bill and Jimmy play the intro of "Jersualem" (the vocal version from "Waiting") and then launch into a pure trance "What Time is Love". The crowd cheer, but the sound seems muted and people are shouting: "Pump it up!" Neither seem to be playing keyboards, just adjusting knobs and laughing and smiling. Bill keeps drinking from a beer bottle. The next bit of footage is a bit wobbly as it takes lots of shots of the legs of the scaffolding the KLF are on top of ("WTIL" is still playing though - very percussive, sometimes reduced to just a 120BPM clicking and thumping sound). Then we hear Cressida shout "Free money! Free money" and Bill and Jimmy empty a bucket over the side of their keyboards, and it flutters down to the crowd, who seem a bit lacklustre about picking the money up. There's an abrupt cut and a few shots of them playing "3 AM Eternal", but it's a lot less coherent that WTIL. There's the cries of "Eternaaaaaaaal", followed by some Space-y samples. Two or three seconds of people dancing to the Pure Trance mix, and then many bodies swaying and swooping to the Blue Danube which has obviously been dropped into the tune (this would have been performed around about the time KLF5R was initially released, I think). Then, after another few seconds footage of the lighting rig, the tape stops after about 8 minutes of play. Date of recording: Saturday 1st October 1989, I think. Hope this is of help, Thomas. Presumably, it was available on file-share at some point, hence it appearing on the CDR I received.

Cheers Dan but i actually own most of the KLF vinyl, am more thinking of unreleased rarities that only seem to crop up on these type of compilations. Have never heard the Borrowed Love, Brooklyn New York and What Goes On tracks for example, and cant seem to find em! Thanks, Ronnie --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Kylie Said Twice
by Thomas Touzimsky 11 Sep '05

11 Sep '05

I am probably the last to notice, but - I always thought that whoever compiled the White Room Soundtrack bootlegs used the CD single version of Kylie Said To Jason as first track on the bootleg, since that was of much better quality than the rest. Today I was driving along the highway today, listening to a rough version of my own personal JAMS/KLF Best Of, when KSTJ kicked in. I had listened to the soundtrack during the last week, on which KSTJ missed some of Maxine's vocals in the chorus (the slightly higher part of "I'm gonna leaaaave this pa-a-arty now"... hope you understand). I always thought that her singing was only on the full version, since it isn't on the version on the WROST. I was pretty surprised to find out today that the single version on KLF 010CD has those vocals as well! So, essentially, there are two different 7" edits of KSTJ! I can't find my CDR right now to prove this, so for the time being, just believe me that I haven't gone completely crazy! Not this time, anyway... ..::// Thomas Touzimsky And the Lord said unto John, "Come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.
