Well, "The Only Rhyme" definitely features a sample from "The Big Country" - LT2T doesn't, as far as I can tell.  If it does, then it's been heavily changed.

"The Only Rhyme" was released in July 1990 on ZZT, according to Lazlo's ZZT discog, so LT2T predates it by at least six months (if you include "Witchita Lineman Was A Song I Once Heard" on JAMSLP5, which nipped out the month before KLF8R) and possibly even by a year (if you include "Go To Sleep" on the unreleased "White Room" soundtrack).

PS - Talking of orchestral stuff - I'm currently enjoying the orchestral Led Zeppellin in my car, featuring Jaz Coleman and Youth from Killing Joke, the London Philharmonic, and Mr. Jimmy Cauty listed as "musician".

Wasn't it determined that 808's version came out first?  But only slightly?
