Well, I was trying to buy the Last train to
trancentral 12" and the record shop coulnt get the record in for that reason as
it was soon after it went bust.
Surely they lost bundles of money at the
time? Unless they had an advance for the next record at the right
moment?
Maybe their next distributor was
better?

Subject: [KLF] KLF on Rough Trade
documentary
Hey-ho folks,
Anyone watch the Rough Trade documentary on BBC4
last night? An interesting watch, at least until the Strokes appeared
(says the old fogey).
There was a couple of minutes footage of the KLF
doing WTIL on TOTP (version 1) and KLF got mentioned in a role-call of
independent labels (alongside RT, Mute, Factory and Beggars Banquet) who were
commercially successful at the beginning of the 1990s.
Also - a
technical question: if Rough Trade (and Rough Trade Distribution) went bust in
March 1991, and KLF Comms were handled by Rough Trade Distribution, then how
were their records put out between March '91 and March '92 (surely, by far
their most commercial period?) Did the KLF lose money - or conversely,
did they actually make more being cut free from Rough Trade? Or did it
make no difference?
Anyway, the doc can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00j4dx5/b00j4dvm/Do_it_Yourself_The_Story_of_Rough_Trade/
(or it will be, once the Beeb have upped it!) And BBC4 will presumably
repeat it ad nauseum for the next few months. They always do with these
things.
