Don't know about that. Mine was signed by Jimmy (as Rockman). My head's fucking reeling with all the Greatest Hits, Etc. posts. Great to see - but difficult to follow. Of course, the ultimate - and wonderful - irony would be if, after all this talk, there is a legimate reissue campaign done by Malicious Damage, featuring a box set of singles in fake "12-inch" CD paper sleeves, every album with new notes by Bill and Jimmy, and all the rarities compiled on two or three CDs. And everything's available on Itunes, there's a media blitz, and the clubs ring to WTIL yet again. Wonderful to dream - might B & J actually do this just to piss the fans off? ;) > Message Received: Jan 18 2007, 06:50 PM > From: "Simon Glass" <tygerbc(a)yahoo.com> > To: klf(a)mailman.xmission.com > Cc: > Subject: [KLF] The First! > > > http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KLF-ALL-YOU-NEED-IS-LOVE-12-1-SIDED-WHITE-LABEL_W0QQi… > > haven't seen this for a while and not sure it is worth a lot, but it should be really =) > > bill's handwriting too, did he write on all of the AYNIL promos? > > tbc. > > > --------------------------------- > Finding fabulous fares is fun. > Let Yahoo!

Truckstop JAMs
by Stephen Kennedy 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I wondered why I was suddenly getting a load of KLF digests... Anyrode, I think "Truckstop JAMs" or something corny like that would be great. Just stick the monster hits on there and hand em out for free - doctor's waiting rooms, record stores, work canteens, wherever. It could go viral you know - from the self-deleted band that all but vanished, to every home has their CD. I like it! Steve (kingboyk on Wikipedia)

i think it would be hilarious if the cash-in compilation left at obscure locations was actually the collection of rare tracks. since the hope is that people picking them up arent familiar with the original material or only slightly so, having thier first taste of klf via some of the rarer or more experimental material would be interesting. hearing LTT for the first time ( or the first time in a long time) on a rental car cd player, that would be nice. but LTT mu-d varispeed version, that would be something else entirely. klf-request(a)mailman.xmission.com wrote: it seems we are now planning two different sets of compilations John's original idea was a compilation of tracks to mark the 10th anniversary, to leave around the country in obscure places, made to look like a cheaply produced "best of" compilation cash-in. i think the aim of this one is more to remind people of what the KLF was about, as well as maybe make it available to some new ears too. but in a prank style - random and obscure points where the cds are made available, cheap and tacky appearance - hopefully the kind of prank Bill & Jimmy would approve of however, a lot more of the recent suggestions for track lists are leaning towards tracks that are rarer, or obscure, or just more interesting, from a collectors view point. these tracklists are really only going to be of interests to the like of us on this list. who either already have them, or would probably only be interested in downloading them and burning to their own particular tracklist i guess there's no reason why we can't do both, but surely most of these tracks are already available via the FTP server aren't they? so why waste the effort of putting them on a cd when the intended target of the cds are people who won't understand them anyway as always, just my 2 cents... or 1 penny at todays exchange rate "The man from Afghanistan has made some significant changes to the RV." --------------------------------- Never miss an email again!

losing the plot?
by Simon Glass 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

hmmm so many people are on board for this idea now that it is going to be veeery difficult to choose a tracklist =/ personally i would still go for John M's original suggestions, perhaps losing the non KLF/JAMs releases though in favour of a couple more tracks over two discs John essentially created a potted history/best of as well as a good selection of rare mixes and edits, never wavering too far from B&J's ethos (whatever that was/is) and the inclusion of some rarities can hardly be said to be moving away from the original intention of the collection, as it was Milne's idea in the first place! incidentally for those who haven't owned/heard 'Waiting for the RItes of Mu' i'll upload an edit of the intro (featuring Me Ru Con) so people can consider this as a possible intro to our new collection --------------------------------- Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.

KLF Kollection
by Elliott 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I have another idea, we do one disc as much as possible. Then a few months later we could do another selection, yes i know that its driffting off the original idea but im getting at least 10 emails a day from all bound, and most of them are about this cd, so there are enough of us that want to do this. And i think we should do this until the KLF make a public anouncement denying their involvement, which nobody would believe. Elliott

sounds good- I normally lurk but the excitement has even stirred me enough to post! It'd be great to track the cds and see where they end up. Like the book crossing site someone else mentioned, especially if you encourage people to copy it and pass on- if you keep the one number you could follow where it travels to?
