Actually, the 23rd anniversary would 2010 ... lots of potential "A Space Odyssey Two" puns for the titles! 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?
