Its
often quite common for pressing plant workers to "knock" off some pressings
at the end of a run, say of 1000. That's why you see clear and coloured vinyl.
all down to the employees of the plant. It was quite a common occurrence. FGTH
have many coloured, clear vinyl pressings.
I've
got a mustard KLF5TOTP 7" - it's actually more 'tangerine orange' than mustard
though. I've also got the clear version and a test pressing of it as
well. I've also heard mention that only the black one is the genuine
article and that the coloured (and clear) ones were pressed up by someone
else. If that's true though, they must have had access to the plates as
the markings on the run-outs are identical in all cases (and clear vinyl is
quite expensive to press up?). I've also heard there were some blue
versions of the 7" pressed - anyone know anything about
these?

If I remember correctly and its the KLF vs ENT single that you
are referring
to,then it was only released in a limited number of one
sided black 7".I
recall that the deal was that you sent £2 mail
order,and if you were too
late to get a copy,then you got a melon
instead.Whether anyone actually got
a melon remains a mystery to
me..but I DID get the single.
thats the one but i do
have a clear 7" too, still looking for the mustard one... if one exists,
anyone know or have it?
I got into the klf after seeing the Ford
Timelord in Charlton, SE London, going home and then seeing the 3am eternal
video on TV. I put that down to fait, so this began my long arduous task of
collecting "The KLF". i only had about 20 original items, the rest was
recorded for me by a friend that had vast amounts of the stuff. Then i got a
computer and BAM my credit cards were hammered. I will continue to collect
and give the whole lot to my son (aged 20 months at present) when his 18 to
do with as he pleases. or should i wait till he's 33 or even 45???
Would be nice to hear any other stories of how people began
collecting "The KLF".

I'm
thinking of aquiring a klf/2k credit card with the million pounds (looked
burnt to me) i found in a suitcase at some museum just for buying klf
material were i get 10% on purchases.. LOL.
