I agree, I think PVC does it because like all of us, he is a fan. I've been buying all of the t-shirts he has put on sale for a year, and plan to continue doing so. As Dan mentioned, anything extra from the sales probably goes towards the M25, and anything else he and the gang might be planning. As for the CDs and such, as long as Bill and Jimmy are fine with it, I have no problems with PVC bundling them with the shirts, or selling them outright.

To be fair to PVC, I think he does it for the sheer love of it and doesn't profit from it..any extra he makes goes to fund the annual M25 spin which is B&J approved as far as I know.

Hey Dan (and all),
while i don't agree with your position on the KLF's back catalog and your criticism of B&J's attitude, i applaud you for sharing these on the list.
Ive been a long time lurker and i must say I've always been irked by the complete lack of sharing on here while PVC sells his regular merchandise (no offense Tim). While i have nothing against Tshirts etc, i find it completely out of whack that there is a CD sale of original KLF content going on regularly without anyone blinking an eye.
In my mind, if there ever was a music artist we should be freely sharing the work amongst enthusiasts, its B&J.
We could easily set up torrents through http://openbittorrent.com/ for example and a private website/blog with listing each others content. That would avoid these direct download sites and if theres enough people downloads should go quick.
But it might be too complicated for some ? :)
Anyway, glad to see this list going once again….
Cheers Xav

I have a pristine "Who Killed The Jams?" which I transferred to digital, 1987, CDs of Shag Times & WTIL Story, grey vinyl Grim Up North, TOTP 3 AM 7", January: WTIL, the Japanese boxes, all the released PVC rarities (would have to ask him about sharing these first as he's been a true friend and I don't want to cut into his action). And much more than this.
Two years ago PVC gave me a partial inventory of what he salvaged from Jimmy and the doubters would be STUNNED at what exists. I've pestered the guy for a full invenrory and he refuses to answer, but the guy has a good thing going and I'm positive he's not using the proceeds to enrich himself. Anyway, happy to share wirh any and all. I'll never sell this stuff so I don't care about tanking my own ebay prices LOL! Listen, all I was trying to say yesterday is I really love this music and would like to hear more of it. It's their art and if they don't wish to share that's fine. Howwever, most don't even remember their antics. Every five years or so I come across an article in the UK press basically reminding people who they were and why the mattered. They pulled-off one of the greatest rock-indie-punk-art specticles in history and the average 20 year old is much more aware of the Pet Shop Boys & Erasure than the KLF. They should be timeless legends, but unlike the Stones or The Beatles the hits were pop hits and not rock hits, there were no untimely deaths, and their ideas became a little too out there for the mainstream I'm not saying they should go on Oprah or reform (on the contrary, they should never reform at least musically). But I think it would really help their solo efforts if they made some public media appearances and just reminded people who they were. There's no need to answer every question and solve every mystery (truth be told, all the true fans know there was no plan anyway...it was all just synchronicity and temporary genious).
I happen to know for a fact that twice as much was recorded or partially recorded as was released. Again, it's their art and it's their right to do what they want. However, the years have passed, their statement has stood, but few remember. I for one would be pleased to make a hefty donation to a worthy cause in exchange for some more KLF goodness. Whilst I doubt signicant portions of the finished Black Room exists, I'm going to try and get a hold of Stent and see what he has. Maybe we'll get to hear some of it in exchange for supporting a worthy cause? Just some thoughts. Again, count me in for your archive project. Dan

Thanks Dan! (and thanks again as I was the original person who asked for K Cera Cera.)
This is a bit like I had in mind a while back when I suggested we try and collect as much of the stuff as possible and make Arkive v2. There are definitely a number of tracks that are hard to find, especially the vinyl-only ones that have been “loved” perhaps a few too many times to sound decent. ;) I’m still willing and able to try and sort this out…if I made a master list of tracks and put it on a Google spreadsheet where people could sign up to record tracks for collation and storage would we have any takers?
