Re: [KLF] KLF burn ?1,000000 retired quid
This always bothered me - apologies if it's been scraped through before - but if you look at the Omnibus programme, at approx. 07:08 minutes in, they show the statement for KLF communications, displaying the 1,000,000 quid withdrawal, but two lines down there's clearly a deposit of 1,130,000 - i.e they withdrew a million then almost immediately deposited just over a million.

Yes, I should imagine that £1M was an amount that they must have had several times over, coming in from woldwide sources and probably saw that million coming and decided to buy themselves an everlasting story. Just speaking to some 'music' people the other day, the new Pendulum album has shifted approx 300 000 copies through their distributor, launched from the back of one single. Back then (KLF times), KLF were bigger and the music business was bigger with no 'free download' option. I should imagine that a bi annual accounting from America (where the product was still licenced) might be that sort of money. Maybe they did, maybe they didnt- but they could have done! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Reed" <mpreed@gmail.com> To: <klf@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 9:31 PM Subject: Re: [KLF] KLF burn ?1,000000 retired quid
