Well, looks like there’s pretty good response to people wanting a good, HQ archive of KLF. Excellent!
Here’s how I think we should go:
I will make a master list of releases and then scattered tracks next week (I’m moving this weekend) and make it as a Google doc so folks can sign up for recording/ripping what is available.
I think it makes sense to go in stages. First start with the KLF, then move on to JAMs, Timelords, Disco 2000, etc. I’d also like to focus on the vinyl-only stuff first as that will be hardest to get. And, yes, nothing in-print (we all know what that is).
Who has a good idea for storage/distribution? Part of me thinks torrents aren’t the way to go — after the initial distribution is done (i.e. “I just ripped KLF005R, grab it here”), it’s a lot harder to get the tracks when people stop seeding. Being able to download them somewhere is a lot better, though of course it opens up the project to legal difficulties. I mean, Bill and Jimmy, odds are they won’t care (especially if Bill thinks we need to get over it ;) ), but lawyers can always get involved. Hm, do we have any Russian listmembers with server space? ;)
Any and all ideas are welcome. I’m looking forward to getting this rolling!
