Hi all, Unfortunately I need to raise some cash so have had to place some items on ebay. Pete Robinson book Justified And Ancient History The Unfolding Story Of The KLF 4009726257, and loads of original biogs and info direct from Trancentral 4009725194. I know this is a shameless plug, but needs must.

I thought others on the list might like to read it too (if they don't own a copy already) and have set up a Yahoo Group with scans of each page in the photos section: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/klf-history/ I hope you enjoy it!

Japanese Box Set singles volume level
by Thomas Touzimsky 19 Aug '09

Comparing the tracks from the Japanese singles from the TIWTKIA boxes... is it just me or is their volume level lower than that of the UK/EU pressings? ..::// Thomas Touzimsky "After you finish the first 90% of a project, you have to finish the other 90%." - Michael Abrash

Are there any promo photos of Jimmy and Alex as The Orb?
by John Milne 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I spotted a very old LXD/Trash photo of the Orb on eBay this afternoon - and was wondering, were there every any promo photos made of the Orb when it was LXD and Rockman? I know there's the very blurred postage stamp photos on the sleeve of "Eternity Project One" where they both wear enormous fake moustaches (presumably taken sometime in late 1988 or early 1989) - but were the Kiss EP or Loving U promoted by any Alex 'n' Jimmy photos? Anyone know? John

Item For Sale on Ebay

A big thank you to the KLF list members who joined us on this years M25 Spin it was great to have you on board. As some of you will know Jimmy recently moved home and during the course of clearing his previous address that had doubled as his creative studio he hired a skip and hoofed a whole load of stuff out for disposal. Luckily we managed to retrieve some of the more interesting bits from the debris including a bag of monitor desk tapes from the village and master room studios. The bag also contained samples, loops and various unreleased mixes of classic tracks that would have been used during live sets at the Benio, Heaven and Helter Skelter gigs. Naturally enough The Junior Insurgent Transmitter Ensemble were very happy to make good use of this rare source material in the soundtrack to this years Spin so make sure you keep an eye open for the sampler DVDs when they appear in the near future. In the meantime and bringing things into the present I thought some of you may be interested in the item I currently have for sale on eBay http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/positivevoid_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_m doZ KLF - WHO KILLED THE JAMS - Master Room CD Taken from the original master tape the tracks have been recorded to quality CD-R s (Strictly Limited to 50 copies only). The artwork replicates that of the original Master Room source rather than the commercial LP and you will see that when they recorded the original album Bill & Jimmy had different names in mind for many of the tracks. As it is Easter I have added a bonus CD to the first 25 copies sold (yes I know it says 20 on the eBay listing) this CD contains two unreleased versions of Whitney Joins The JAMs again taken from a monitor desk tape. We appreciate the world is in the grips of an economic meltdown but at a fixed price buy it now figure of just £5.00 + P&P we hope you feel this offer is good value. So dig deep and share the love peace and happiness Tim in the spirit of mu liberate & communicate

Re: [KLF] missing the boat

Simon, Tim had to have a hundred of these pressed rather than the initially announced 50 as that was the minimum number, so if you email him I think that he still has some available. Back in the early 1990s, I made a digital rip of "Who Killed the JAMs?" from a pristine vinyl LP copy (that had been cleaned and anti-staticed) to mini-disc. The result was a copy that sounded of CD quality and Tim's release sounds very similar--a CD made from a clearly analog source. This version that Tim has released is from some type of original studio tape that he received directly from Jimmy. After listening through it several times I've noticed a few things: 1. There seems to be no difference in terms of content between Tim's CD and the original LP. 2. The sound quality is superb. If you crank the volume very high, there is some audible tape hiss. This version essentially sounds like an LP except there are no vinyl artifacts (static, skips, etc.). It is obvious that this disc is exactly as advertised, a perfect copy taken straight from a studio tape with no further manipulation. Although I haven't run it through any software, I can tell that it hasn't been altered in any way (no compression, no volume adjustments, no "de-noising" software application, etc.). Considering that "Who Killed the JAMs?" was mastered with LP/cassette and not CD in mind, this is hands down the best copy you are ever going to hear--anywhere--ever. As it seems that Tim did not attempt to "improve" the recording, one of course is always free to load it onto their computer and no-noise the tape hiss, increase the volume, or apply whatever changes one cares to, but personally I don't know why anybody would. The Whitney mixes: 1. The tracks themselves sound much louder than the "Who Killed the JAMs?" CD. 2. The first version sounds to be only a slightly different mix to the released version, so I'm guessing this was one of the final mixes considered for the single release. 3. The second mix is radically different, more of a "dub" or "instrumental" mix similar to the ones released on "Shag Times." A sample of somebody saying "Fuck you" becomes the hook later in the track. I'm guessing that this may have been a remix they were considering for "Shag Times." Danny T.

The Wild Swans reunion gig
by John Milne 25 May '09

25 May '09

Hi everyone, Drummond's favourite Zoo Records act, the Wild Swans, have announced two low-key reunion gigs in Liverpool at the end of July. Tickets limited to 200 for each night, so it's a tiny venue. As some of you will have realised, I'm a massive fans of the Swans and lead singer Paul Simpson in particular (he has also recorded as Skyray, whose track "Mind Lagoons" featured Bill Drummond vocals (under the pseudonym Tensing** Scott-Brown)). Anyway, I thought some on hear may be interested. And unlike most nostalgia-market reunion gigs, the Wild Swans will be using the shows to preview their new album (the first for twenty years). More info here: http://www.thewildswans.co.uk/ (where you can also buy copies of their most recent single, "English Electric Lightning" (their first single since 1987)). John
