Yeah, i was shocked at the price too judging by its rarity. i paid £20 for Space in 91 and this WTIL LP was rare back then.
I think the general collectible value of KLF material is actually dropping, as interest in the band declines and most people who want to actively hunt for something are massively assisted by the Internet in finding it. Five years ago something like the WTIL LP, KSTJ CD or 12", the Space LP etc. were things you couldn't find for love nor money. Now it seems like all but the *most* rare of KLF items can be tracked down for less than twenty quid if you can be bothered to look.
i agree the internet makes it easier, but I think if you could be bothered to look you could always find what you wanted. Even 5 years ago (maybe 4) I was amazed what people on the list said they'd paid for their records. I have all the LPs on vinyl, in near mint or excellent condition, and most of the singles (with obvious exceptions like january wtil) and the only two records i paid more than 20-25 pounds for were 1987 (which was about 40) and J&A anti-acapella (40 again, but i exchanged a big pile of crap CDs and got it without paying even a penny in cash, niiiice!) It kinda goes without saying I don't have IGUN original though, iirc i've never seen that for less then 70-80 jon -- "You will find that the state is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly too." - John Kenneth Galbraith
