Totally agree. These radio edits were all created by the KLF for a reason - to grab the attention of the casual radio-listener. Remixes and dance-orientated tracks were for a different kind of audience, but single versions were purely for the non-fan FM radio/TOTP fan. And its through these we're trying to introduce Bill & Jimmy's work, working against the added obstacle that most of these edit are nearly 2 decades old.

If we're picking our own favourite tracks, then "Trance Kylie Express" (KLF010R a-side) is the one for me; (a) it's my favourite KLF pop track and is far superior to the KLF010T a-side mix, and (b) it's been grossly under-represented on bootlegs so far, particularly in comparison to some of the more monotonous, trance-like KSTJ remixes of 010R and 010RR.

... but ...

I'd rather we just put out a disc of the single edits (even if they are slightly editted by some of us to re-introduce elements from other versions).
