Bootleg origins and ways to identify bootlegs are frequent topics and not exactly easy to find in the archives. I think they would make nice and helpful additions to a FAQ.
There’s a lot of interesting info that came out of Dutton in the short time he was on the list. I think the posts start around Feb or March of 98 and end around April. He had a huge collection of very rare material. DATs, pressing plates, etc... He mentioned how some things he had or was in the process of getting had to go “out the back door.” I wonder if he had a personal connection to the KLF, or a friend on the inside. Very few people who dealt with him are still on list to today to answer.

Subject: AW: [KLF] RE: KLF 92
PROMO 3
klf.de has various things going. We just need to find a good point to start. I asked for some questions that should go into an updated FAQ long ago, but the feedback was... well, average. I am open to suggestions, as a new FAQ will work perfectly together with the glossary.

Betreff: RE: [KLF] RE: KLF 92 PROMO 3Your evaluation is consistent with mine, and I would say your copy is legitimate. It wouldn’t bother me so much that mine is a boot if it hadn’t be sold to me as legitimate, and I hadn’t been offered what I believe was a real promo short time after I bought the bootleg.
Where is the up to date FAQ located? It took me about an hour or 2 to dig up the info on the Dutton - ETERNITY 23 connection. It would also be worth adding that and the KLF 92 PROMO 3 bootleg test. Doesn’t klf.de have a new FAQ going?
If anyone wants to send me a scan of your PROMO 3 directly I can attempt an evaluation.
Don
