why not dump "mind the gap"? much better suited to a full "1987", in my opinion
another criticism - while I enjoy "fuck the millennium", that's 2K, not KLF - if that's to be included, why not an edit and why not include some disco2000 (one love nation 12")

or maybe "rockman rock (parts 2 & 3)" instead of "next"...?

Glad to find another person who likes "Disaster Fund Collection"! On reflection, you're that we probably need more JAMs jams on the album, preferably from 1987, since that is the release we are celebrating. Of the tracks that you mention, I think "Next" is maybe slightly more "approachable" than Rockman Rock. If "Fuck The Millennium" were to be removed, both "Next" and "Downtown" could probably be added, so I've gone with that for the track-list. I don't think Disco 2000 should go on, they're not as important as the other songs when we're pressed for time on a CD, and personally I think they might be a bit cheesy today. But if one of their songs were to go on, I think it ought to be I Gotta CD, which I always considered their best.
Since my email program appeared to chew up my last carefully- prepared tracklist, I've decided the updated one online:

Let me know what you all think, John
I understand what you're saying about the "cheesiness" of disco2000 in general, and "I gotta CD" is probably "the" disco2000 song - I suggested "one love nation" because it's basically who killed the jams' "candystore" (so it had at least a little more KLF konnection) I'm on my way to see the revised listing :)
