I think I've seen the blue PB label on US 12" versions of LTTT. I can't confirm it because all of mine are CD except for 008R.

Business Email The seller feedback looks perfectly kosher, actually. That's the normal sort of inane comment you get, and most of the people leaving it have got high feedback ratings themselves. Faking it would be a lot of work. The 'band members' are the names of pressing plants or their employees - not the usual recipients of gold discs, but who knows? Personally I wouldn't pay anything for a 'genuine' gold disc, horrible tacky things. Usually they just respray any old record that happens to be lying around, give it the right label and stick it in a frame. If you aren't the person who actually made the record, what's the point of having it? "This shows that some record I happen to like sold a lot of copies. It was handed to the band by Bruno Brookes and used to hang in the drummer's toilet." Wow. N.

M2, "KOPYRIGHT LIBERATION"
by Andrew McCombe 25 Mar '03

25 Mar '03

Just found this on the web - may seem interesting to someone.. http://www.brainwashed.com/brain/brainv03i44.html 3rd or 4th paragraph down M2, "KOPYRIGHT LIBERATION" With almost no down time from cross-continental touring and releasing albums as Panacea and Disorder, Matthis Mootz has released this scarcely limited mini-LP on Ant-Zen. Limited to 680 copies, "Kopyright Liberation" is built from sources from the now legendary Kopyright Liberation Front, a.k.a. the KLF. While this 40-minute mini-LP is rather tributal in natureÂwith track titles "Trancentral," "Ru Con," and "Reefer Spin,"Âa scattering of micro elements have been recycled in an entirely new surrounding. The record strays from the more minimalistic tendencies of the first two .... Andrew --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I tried to have them replace my Shag Times, and Chill Out. They simply said they can only replace CDs still in print. Someone else mentioned that they will repress them if the demand is great enough, but they said nothing like that to me.

(Of course, there seems to be a direct relationship between the rarity of the CD and the liklihood of bronzing.) ;( I have a Julian Cope: Skellington that is definitely bronzing. I also have numerous CDs from The Beautiful Sounth, The Wonder Stuff, Marc Almond, etc, as well as numerous compilation CDs on PDO UK discs. Many, but not all of them, are showing signs of bronzing. A few years ago, I had PDO repleace a bunch of the affected CDs; has anyone been able to do that recently? I have a few more CDs that have started to go bad, and I've acquired more in the meantime...

PDO discs
by John Milne 24 Mar '03

24 Mar '03

Hi, I noticed in some of the earlier posts that there was a mention of the PDO rot problem. I don't know if I've been fortunate, or merely don't really notice the deterioration much, but my copies of JAMSCD3, 4, 5, 6, SPACE CD1, KLFCD 010 and 004 are all reasonable to the eye and still play fine. As far as I'm aware, these are the only KLF discs that were manufactured by PDO and affected by the problem, but I may be wrong. Admittedly, there is a slight browning in both "Shag Times" and "WTILS", which I gather is one of the symptoms, but this has not got worse in about four years with either of them. I just store my CDs normally, in the boxes, and they have been carted from home to home for over a decade now. Have I just been lucky, or is the PDO problem limited in its scope? Or again, do I have the death of my CDs still to look forward to? John Not Scots, just Scott-ish PS - If anyone else has any rare Happy Mondays or Julian Cope CDs from the same era ("Wrote For Luck" original CD single, "Droolian", "Skellington", etc.) and is suffering from PDO rot, could you please contact me? I'd like to know if these CDs (which are all PDO btw) are affected too. You can e-mail me off-list if you prefer.

Maybe OT, maybe not, but since You've mentioned different version, I thought to share it: I have a JAMSMC6 version of WR, on which the last track, J & A just fades out at half length. Does anybody knows why was this track "cut"? And is there any reason for a shorter US Chill Out, or not? a Gyerek "Everybody's trying to get into Heaven, but nobody's dead so far" (Shivaree: Flycatcher) _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

None of my PDO discs are rotting. they all have some browning but I can say for certain that at least Shag Times (which I bought new) was brownish to begin with. I really should make backup copies of these discs and store them safely. -paul Currently in rotation: Sparks - Lil Beethoven (really, the best album I've heard in years), KLF - various
