Hi I was chattng to a bloke I met tonight and he remembers the early days of th JAMMS (he didnt know, until tonight, that they became the KLF!!!!!) and said that he was working for a music paper in '87 in london and he remembered the 'all you need is love' single and promptly bought the '1987' album. Then he left the paper and went to university in Newcastle (to study neurology or summat like that). He said that some student, around 1990 offered him £50 for his copy of 1987: WTFIGO and he promptly exchanged LP for cash . I then told him of the story behind the LP and he didn't seem concerned that he could've got a lot more. Then I thought of the sleeve notes to Shag Times. 5 copies were being sold at £1000 each. Most of us know that there were a hell of a lot more copies than the 5 B&J claimed. I remember seeing one for sale at £160. What's the highest price anyone has either paid or seen for an ORIGINAL LP of 1987?? Andrew
£91 from a seller in Australia. I've got three copies now, all were between £45 and £91. One comes in original shrinkwrap with a Virgin £3.99 sticker still on it (the shrinkwrap, not the album), one comes with a hand-drawn insert offering everything from JAMs hats (black or yellow, £5) to a "KLF Chopper" (£23,000) which seems to come with air-to-air missiles. The third one includes the insert that can be seen on the rear photo on JAMS LP2 ("still at the original £5"). Chris
