Hey-ho folks,<br><br>Anyone watch the Rough Trade documentary on BBC4 last night?  An interesting watch, at least until the Strokes appeared (says the old fogey).<br><br>There was a couple of minutes footage of the KLF doing WTIL on TOTP (version 1) and KLF got mentioned in a role-call of independent labels (alongside RT, Mute, Factory and Beggars Banquet) who were commercially successful at the beginning of the 1990s.<br>
<br>Also - a technical question: if Rough Trade (and Rough Trade Distribution) went bust in March 1991, and KLF Comms were handled by Rough Trade Distribution, then how were their records put out between March &#39;91 and March &#39;92 (surely, by far their most commercial period?)  Did the KLF lose money - or conversely, did they actually make more being cut free from Rough Trade?  Or did it make no difference?<br>
<br>Anyway, the doc can be found here: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00j4dx5/b00j4dvm/Do_it_Yourself_The_Story_of_Rough_Trade/">http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00j4dx5/b00j4dvm/Do_it_Yourself_The_Story_of_Rough_Trade/</a> (or it will be, once the Beeb have upped it!)  And BBC4 will presumably repeat it ad nauseum for the next few months.  They always do with these things.<br>
