Re: AW: [KLF] chronological discography?
lets say i have a 3am eternal disc, a white room disc, and that 91 timelords single. most disgographies list them all as being released in 91, but what date in 91? (which came out first, etc) I see. But most of that information is still in the discog, you just need to look for it. For example, the official discog lists 3am in Jan 1991, The White Room in March 91, Last Train in April 91, Stadium House video in July 91, America WTIL in Oct 91, IGUN in Oct 91, Justified and Ancient in Nov 91, and MU in Dec 91 (that's a lot of output!). In certain cases it will list individual release info. IE: the Timelords US CD5 came out in July 91 while all the other Timelords singles came out in 1988. If you're looking for a release by release, 12" by CD5, by specific date, that's just too much to ask of your average discographer. In some cases you don't even know when something came out. Someone wanders into a used cd shop and finds a promo of some single no one knew existed from three years before. When exactly it came out is impossible to determine. -paul Are you unknowningly spreading the Klez worm? http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.e@mm.html ===========================================================
hi all, i've come into this thread real late. i'm cleaning through mail trying to catch up (from the top down) so if i've misunderstood excuse me please. problem: someone wants a list in date order of when things were released? ie [i've snipped heapsodetail to make it work on a email msg] 1987 Sept 7 The JAMS: Whitney Joins The J.A.Ms 1987 Oct 16 The JAMS: 1987 (The JAMS 45 Edits) 1987 Nov 30 The JAMS: Down Town etc etc 1989 Jan 16 Disco 2000: Uptight (Everything's Alright) etc etc 1992 Jan 21 The KLF: Justified and Ancient (stand by the jams) solution: if that is the problem then i've already done most of it. email me offlist and we can discuss. its not really in a format suitable for easy distribution, and for "releases only", i'd have to put some work into it. actually if any of the klf.de boys are interested, it could work well (i think based of educated guess) there. i never bothered to check the source, but you must be pulling data from a database of some kind right? its not all static pages surely? offlist is probably best cheers brendan
The current discography is static. Just a plain txt file that can be searched with a PHP script. Very well done by the man without time. (cheers at Mr Pattberg) ;-) A database based discography would allow you to list all releases in whatever order you like, but that would require a lot of work. And here at KLF.de, we are all men without time. Got to find some time to create the new FAQ pages btw... --- Thomas Touzimsky same shit // different day i never bothered to check the source, but you must be pulling data from a database of some kind right? its not all static pages surely?

I'm currently putting all my records into a database (using KMusicDB, unix only, see http://kmusicdb.sf.net/ for info) This is a very slow and tedious process, which I'm only doing for insurance purposes, and made more difficult by the fact I only just find time to enter new records I buy, let alone all my old stuff... But anyway, once I've finished putting the KLF stuff in (mostly done, I think) I could dump the relevant tables, expand them a bit to include more info (kmusicdb only stores years of release and deletion, not full dates) and then we'd have an SQL database of KLF releases. Maybe just a pipedream though - I should probably finish entering my records first. -- "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." -Groucho Marx
