Subject: [KLF] Why so expensive?


I've seen the Jap import This Is What KLF Is About 3 x CD set floating
around in various shops, I've never really understood why it's so
expensive:

I don't suppose it's ultra rare (or is it?) and it's not like it's an
official KLF Comms release, so why the high price tag? None of the
mixes are hard to get hold of, and most feature in the 'lower price
bracket' of what were available as official KLF 12 inch releases. You
could probably spend the same today, and obtain nearly all of these
tracks on KLF Comms vinyl, perhaps not the Pure Trance LTTT.

When I used to collect KLF stuff from 1990 to 1995, unless it was a
KLF Comms release I tended to move on, Arista and Wax Trax releases
didn't really interest me that much. I admit to being a little
blinkered back in those days though.

Having stood back from the list for about 10 years I'm interested to
hear other people's views on what they believe to be worth collecting,
and why. Perhaps the fact that many of the super rare KLF releases of
the early nineties have now gone into collectors boxes and are very
unlikely to ever change hands again, thereby pushing the unofficial
releases to the top of the collectible pile?

All the best.

Ross
