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!

Unreleased KLF Track
by PVC 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

As many of you will recall a cache of lost and forgotten material was rediscovered during Jimmy's house move early last year. Some of the tracks were liberated by The Junior Insurgent Transmitter Ensemble for the soundtrack to the 2009 M25 Spin. We have produced a single track DVD sampler and will be giving it away to all the "spinners" joining us this year. The track featured is a unique version of the Pure Trance classic What Time Is Love and was recorded and performed by The KLF at the very first Helter Skelter illegal rave held on the 30th September 1989. We will be meeting up at Thurrock Service Station just off the M25 at 11am on Saturday 20th March 2010 and will be on the London Orbital Motorway until 1pm on Sunday 21st March. Every two laps we stop for fuel and pick up passengers / collaborators at Clacket Lane Services (clockwise side). If you are unable to come along to this years Spin but would like to buy a copy of the DVD Sampler it is available at: http://positivevoid.co.uk/PVCM25DVD09.htm We look forward to seeing you all very soon. Love Peace & Happiness Tim & Gimpo

Why so expensive?
by Ross Jarvis 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

I've seen the Jap import This Is What KLF Is About 3 x CD set floating around in various shops, I've never really understood why it's so expensive: http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=7056&From=EIL_KLF-COL-04092010-1… I don't suppose it's ultra rare (or is it?) and it's not like it's an official KLF Comms release, so why the high price tag? None of the mixes are hard to get hold of, and most feature in the 'lower price bracket' of what were available as official KLF 12 inch releases. You could probably spend the same today, and obtain nearly all of these tracks on KLF Comms vinyl, perhaps not the Pure Trance LTTT. When I used to collect KLF stuff from 1990 to 1995, unless it was a KLF Comms release I tended to move on, Arista and Wax Trax releases didn't really interest me that much. I admit to being a little blinkered back in those days though. Having stood back from the list for about 10 years I'm interested to hear other people's views on what they believe to be worth collecting, and why. Perhaps the fact that many of the super rare KLF releases of the early nineties have now gone into collectors boxes and are very unlikely to ever change hands again, thereby pushing the unofficial releases to the top of the collectible pile? All the best. Ross

KLF Rarities EP3
by John Milne 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

I got a copy of the "new" EP (number 3 of 5, apparently) from acmeproductions off eBay at the weekend. A few other people have posted rather eloquently about the pros and cons of collecting these new KLF "rarities", but for information purposes only: two of the four tracks appear to be "new" (although not staggering so). The version of "Last Train to Tracentral" is an extended version (8 min 20) of KLF008R's a-side (the more ambient mix, which appears on the "Ambient House" CD comp but NOT on KLF8CD). It sounds a bit like it might be the mix they used for the "Mu D. Vari-Speed" version in 1991 - but played all the way through at the right speed (although I don't have the technical ability to check that). The version of "It's Grim Up North" is an extended version (7 min 20) of IGUN Part 2. As before, I have no evidence of the providence of these mixes (i.e., they might not necessarily be unreleased B&J out-takes). John

Project: Ford Timelord
by Ross Jarvis 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

All, I've been taking part in the mailing list now for a few weeks, as some may know I used to be a more active member towards the end of the 90s. About 2 months ago I went to a family wedding. Whilst there I saw my uncle, who I'd not seen for a year or so. He looked at my car, a high performance vehicle which I absolutely loved. He had also been an avid fan of the KLF back in the early days, and he put the question to me: Would you swap that car for a beaten up old Ford Galaxie if you had the chance? Yes, I replied, but the opportunity wasn't there. Fast forward two weeks, and we're awoken by the police at 6am one Friday morning. Apparently a gang of thieves had broken into our house to take the keys to my car, and taken it on a crime spree around this and neighbouring counties. The police said that I shouldn't expect to ever see my pride and joy again. To this day it's never been recovered. But, the insurance has paid out. So, now I have the opportunity to effectively swap my nice shiny new high performance car, for a 1968 Ford Galaxie. Read the next chapter here: http://projectfordtimelord.blogspot.com/ All the best Ross

Madrugada Eterna - Mix Used On Promo Vid
by Ross Jarvis 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Greetings All, As I understand, there are two club versions of this track, the one that we probably all have a copy of, and then the one that I've only heard a short clip of which features on the White Room Promo clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNwrs-5Tuus I think I remember reading that someone had reprogrammed the short clip to make a longer version, but does a proper/official longer version exist anywhere, like a super rare only 3 pressed kind of thing? For me getting hold of the official version of this track would be akin to uncovering the holy grail. Ross

"It's Grim Up North"
by John Milne 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Simple question - where does that phrase come from? Wikipedia just links to the KLF article. But I'm sure as an expression it must pre-date 1990. Is it from some sixties drama? John
