Seriously, I could just about see some KLF re-recordings appearing this year. It's quite fashionable for bands to release "alternative" best ofs, where the songs are re-recorded in a different style (even the Beatles did it last November). These things never usually please fans, or the casual buyer - but the chance to piss people off would probably appeal to Jimmy immensely (I'm sure Bill's only input into any new product would be a phonecall from the farmhouse to say "aye"). Plus, despite protestations to the contrary, JC seems more comfortable with the KLF's musical past than he has in years. The music he produced from 2002-2005 seemed a logical progression of the late KLF/K Foundation days. In reality, I'm sure there will be SOMETHING this year - even if its just a "It was twenty years ago today" article in the NME about 1987 & Abba, with the Klakons saying something like "We never realised they did more than one album".

I’m looking forward to the 20th anniversary digitally re-mastered absolutely complete CD box set. I wish… i wouldn't put it past Bill & Jimmy to do something like that, re- master and even re-record some of the greats and then release them in a limited-edition box-set - probably only 23 produced and probably only available on 8-track cartridge or something!! :) :)
