Chill Out on the KLF Map
by Andy Lee 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

I've added the locations mentioned in Chill Out to the KLF Map I only got Brownsville, Lake Jackson, Beaumont and Baton Rouge. By working out driving times I think the destination is New Orleans. Anything I'm missing? http://g.co/maps/5yzf 33,000 views and rising, we should do a book for Christmas. Andy

My copy of "Love Trance"
by Dan Hutchins 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hello, I promised this conversation weeks ago, now here it is. My first recollection of ever hearing of Love Trance was from a Record Collector magazine ad back in 1994 or 1995. Someone who had worked at the pressing plant claimed to have at least one copy they were selling for a huge sum. I believe somebody on this list bought it. Fast forward to 2001/2002. One 12" went for sale on ebay and I had the cash to buy, but was beat out on the final bid by a a person with a faster Internet connection (I only had dial-up at the time). However, this person had access to a professional studio and sold me a pro transfer CD-R of it at cost which was really cool of them. Fast-forward to late 2005. I again had some cash and wanted an original. I put out a call on the list and a very well known, very long-time list member offered to sell me his copy as he was digitizing his collection and wanted the money for other purposes. I won't say who but he's welcome to chime in if he likes. I don't remember what I paid, but it was probably around $350.00 plus costs. I received the record and played it and it sounded identical to the earlier CD-R and various other MP3s I had heard since it leaked online back in 1999 for the first time as a low bitrate MP3. Now for the details: Mine came in a generic black & white print KLF promo sleeve. The labels are white. The info on the labels are hand written in blue ink pen. Side A says "A L-Trance" and side b says "B New Mix". Here's where it get's a little sketchy: The run-out groove on side a is hand written and says "KLF006T-A-" and the run-out on side b is also hand written and says "KLF006T-B-" There is no mention of "Adrenaline" which was reported to be on the two or three copies that surfaced earlier. I contacted the seller about this, he swore up and down it was legit, and offered to refund my money plus costs if I wished to mail it back. Once again, this guy is a long time, very trusted member of the list and I don't remember what the details were, but it probably came down to whomever originally pressed the thing realized what he had when the band broke-up and banged out a few more off the books. The sound on mine is 10 out of 10 and not one of those ridiculous multi-colored things that started surfacing on ebay a few years back. Of course, since then a completely different version has surfaced which may be an earlier version, the remix 12", or even something else. One may obtain that version by subscribing to a service I will append to the end of this email (which I am not affiliated with and make nothing from, just provided to interested parties as a service). For the record I think that the version on my 12" is official even though after many discussions over the years the community seems to be evenly split. I also think that the new version that has surfaced is also official but a radically different mix. I further feel it's possible that "Kylie Said Trance" which is labeled "Pure Trance" on the KSTJ 12" could be "Turn-Up The Strobe" retitled and that Madrugda Eterna was also considered "Pure Trance." I think it's fair to say that more than five Pure Trance recordings were made perhaps with the intention of releasing a Pure Trance LP after the late surprise success of WTIL and 3AM but that "Chill-Out" and the free form nature of what the KLF were doing satisfied this urge. I have heard whisperings of at least three other Pure Trance recordings in existence but only time will tell if this is indeed true. I've not heard them and know nothing about them...only rumors. It's amazing what continues to slip-out after 20 years. I find it exciting really. Information on how to obtain the latest "Love Trance" below. My version is all ready out there if you know where to look and have been paying attention.

Is there a higher quality of Disco 2000 (esp. One Love Nation, not so bothered about Uptight!) than the 128k MP3s available anywhere? thanks Tim

I'm sorry, but what a load of tosh! The last two winters we've had a few days when the state of the road and rail networks have been quite bad in random parts of the country, but that has been due to an extreme and unusual weather situation. There are certainly NOT "parts of the year when nothing happens in Sweden because of the weather". This isn't the arctic region, it's a civilised country, and no - opposite to popular belief we don't have icebears walking the streets either. (The only part of the year when nothing happens in Sweden is between 3 and 4 PM on Christmas Eve when every single person in Sweden sit down in front of the TV to watch old Disney cartoons). You are however required to have special winter tyres from December 1 to March 31 if the temperature is below zero. > Message: 3 > Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 15:22:30 +0100 > From: Andy Lee <andrewdavidlee(a)gmail.com> > To: "All bound for Mu-Mu Land." <klf(a)mailman.xmission.com> > Subject: Re: [KLF] 1987 Vinyl Bonfire location > Message-ID: > <CABcFTduRZTvgVaW4UX_4+mxW9JvmqMmeA7ix10YZvW-irDc58w(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" > > Sounds like great fun.

What..a..blast!
by Dan T. Hutchins 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Just wanted to give a shout-out to all the list members and state the past few weeks have been great fun! I won't recount old territory, but let's just say old things are reemerging and 20 years on new things continue to fly out of the closet. I'm quite confident unknown things will continue to see the light of day in the coming years. Let's just say I've learnt my lesson and won't spill any secrets, but those of you who are truly intetested will be able to put the pieces together. I need to concentrate on some personal things for awhile, but will share the history of my Love Trance 12" this week! Promise!!! Dan

It's a best guess The location is a turning on the north side of the road (right side for east to west travelling) with in 10 miles-ish of Skara, near farm buildings. If you look at the map and turn on pictures you'll see what I meant by "looking right" Here's the two articles from the NME & Sounds. view "All sizes" and choose original to make it readable. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24992274@N00/6101848938/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/24992274@N00/6101820160/ Could be wrong, could be right but I doubt anyone really knows.

Totally free unless you wish to convert to MP3 then there's a license fee (but common, there are a zillion free MP3 solutions out there). Does FLAC to AL and AL to FLAC flawlessly. Windows only. For those who cant't be bothered with such things all future uploads will be in both AL and FLAC, which audiophiles agree offer identical lossless clarity. If you don't believe me, do the research as I did. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ Dan
