I was offered a Jams LP1 white label once, don't know if it was genuine or not though, it just came in a plain paper sleeve. I couldn't inspect the runout and the seller was suspect so i passed it up as there are so many boots. Tim.

I still think 2007 is probably a better anniversary ("it was 20 years ago today, that the Mu Mu taught the band to play" etc), but if we don't get things together in time, it's worth thinking about ... And the scarey thing is, of course, it's only 9 years away from the 23rd anniversary of the K Foundation dumping their car off Cape Wrath and signing a contract not to talk about the money burning for .... 23 years. Are B&J polishing off the podium for a press conference, I wonder? A wiki site, with information, might work well. I think it would be great for people more connected with the "KLF universe" to get involved too, like Pete Robinson. Maybe even Bill and Jimmy themselves will rear their heads. Trouble is, of course, if they do I suspect they would be disdainful, and possibly even try and put a stop to the project (you never know!) Still, if they do, we can all just drop them like a hot potato and all move on to something else ... Anne Dudley, anyone? ;-) Oh, and John, ccording to the klf.de discog, the release of "1987" was on the 15/22 May 1987. I suspect the 15th might have been the vinyl and 22nd been the cassette - although I could be wrong. I've heard rumours of a white label promo of JAMSLP1. Did it come out on the 15th, and the full release on 22nd? Anyone know?

All this talk of Greatest Hits is an idea I had a while back, but forgot to mention on here. I can set up a wiki on my site if we want a place to store the tracklist while we're working on it. Just let me know. I think we should do this. The only question I have is whether the 23rd anniversary would have been more appropriate ;) As for helping, I'm pretty handy with music and audio software and Photoshop. I'd like to help do the covers or pretty much anything else.
Now, for a project of my own, I need to know the exact release date of the 1987 album
Thanks, John

Bugger. That's true. And presumably a JAMSCD4 or KLF010CD barcode would put the check-out system into meltdown (hmmm ... could be interesting).
I think if we're going to a retrospective, you can't really avoid "Tardis" (and I'm still a big fan of the video/radio 2'23 shortest possible version option). The Gary Glitter connection is, in retrospect, regretable, but not a huge obstacle.
If on their next record the KLF had sampled a Pete Townsend guitar riff, then maybe we'd have had a problem!

only possible issue with the barcodes is it means people will get charged 10 quid or whatever for our CD, and presumably that money will go to the store and the record company who owned the barcode we sto...liberated =/
tbc.

Great idea about bar codes for HMV and the like, it would mean people might be able to buy them because i dont think many KLF'ers would try to steal them, unless they have a sticker on saying 'FREE please take me home'... We could also leave some in coffee shops for people to take, just tell them its a free promotion, they have those crappy hairdresser flyers. How about a chilled out remix cd and a more ravey remix cd?

as for Gary Glitter - i'd vote for not including that c**t - but i'd like to see Dotorin' represented somehow - how about the mix from Shag Times, it's one of my favourite tracks, and is a lot more Doctor than Glitter
Ah, but which mix from Shag Times? There's the radio edit and the minimal remix (which is great), remember. I'm always fond of the "video edit" from the Video CD single, which is a bit more obscure but is the version from the video. It's shorter, which leaves more room on the CD for other things, it's arguably the most Glitter-less of all, and as its the video-length version, it's the one many people remember fondly.
for the copies that are dropped in places like HMV and Virgin, we could find something absolutely horrific that's been released and copy it's barcode - potentially sending it to number one despite not actually shifting that many units :) although, tbh, that's probably unlikely
As I said, I reckon if if there's any shameless 40-years-of-Sgt- Peppers CDs brought out by the Beatles' accountants around that time, maybe we should do some barcode filching with that. Alternatively, maybe a barcode from a rare KLF release - JAMSCD4 or something. Imagine "The What Time is Love Story" in the top twenty in May 2007! :-)
