The choice of Kennedy was completely random, but I think it worked out well. Other images I considered using were that of Bruce Lee, and a midget cowboy. I'm not sure he could be considered completely sane since he got us closer to nuclear war than any other US president. The bullet was an afterthought too. The trajectory of the bullet was intended to match that of the bullet that struck him from behind when he was killed. I did it to see how long it would take, and for fun. In any case, I know Mr.Cauty is capable of much more, so I'm just having a hard time understanding why he would put his name on something like this.

Subject: RE: [KLF] new art I like it, with the following comments: 1. The '$1' detracts from the overall style making it look too "cheap" 2. I'd prefer it if the bullet was travelling from either side of the president's head (as opposed to rear-to-front), this would be inkeeping with the 9/11 style where most images are of the plane moving laterally. 3. Why Kennedy? Surely he was one of the less psychotic leaders? Of course, I understand the point that this put together quickly to show how easy such art is to produce - which kind of nullifies my comments! :) ps, Like the "Guns'n'Roses" motif!

I'm not sure what American pop artist or artists you are referring to. I'd like to see their work. No pop artist that I know of has become successful doing crap like this. This new work of his just falls into the category of poorly executed, amateur level, computer photo collage. It honestly looks a little better than some of the stuff I did on my friends Amiga paint program in 1986-87. I am only referring to the 2 new pieces. The ones with the queen and Big Ben are much better.

I think they look like crappy Photoshop work.

Chris Did you see my email about the different versions of the above item on the list I do not know if it got through? Simon -----Original Message----- From: Chris Peel [mailto:munkie@cloud9ine.com] Sent: 08 November 2003 16:49 To: 'All bound for Mu-Mu Land.' Subject: RE: [KLF] Shag Times vinyl question Both my copies are identical -- with the exception of the sticker. I bought one (sans sticker) from Probe in Liverpool circa 1991/1992 and I won the other one on eBay recently. As far as the sleeves go, both have "THE JUSTIFIED ANCIENTS OF MU MU [pyramid logo] CIRCA 1987" "SH/\G TIMES" on the front and a white "KLF" in very large font on a black panel, although the rest of the rear of the p/s is white with the tracklist/credits in black. I also have RTD87 (the single LP version) which has an identical front to the two DLP3's (although no sticker). No idea if either/neither/both of these are the reissue or bootleg - comments?

Subject: Re: [KLF] Shag Times vinyl question See my previous comments too though...my version has a white sleeve with 'Shag Times...The Justified Ancients Of MuMu Circa 1987' on the front and a tracklist on the back, all in black print. This was 'new' when I bought it around 1992 therefore is probably the reissue/bootleg version but I have seen slightly tattier (therefore perhaps older) copies where the back of the sleeve is a totally black background with white print...i'd always assumed this was the original issue, therefore isn't that quite a major difference too? I think some of these older copies had the sticker on the front too. the main difference between the original and the repress is when you open the gatefold one of them was misprinted with the text on left and right inners (all the stuff about music papers and stuff) appearing transposed (ie left hand page printed on right and visa versa) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Peel" To: "'All bound for Mu-Mu Land.'"
