It was at one of these muddy field raves in Stoke-on-trent (can't remember the exact date, 1989) that I heard 'WTIL Pure T1' for the first time. The DJ played it continuously for about 20 mins. I have never taken any illegal drug, and don't smoke - but man did that tune make me high! Golden Days ! Andrew
The same story can be found in Matthew Collin's book "Altered State - >> The Story of Ecstasy Culture and Acid House". According to Collin, the rave happened on 30 September 1989, in a "muddy field in Oxfordshire" and was called "Helter Skelter". The performers - which >> included Bill and Jimmy, Ce Ce Rogers and Loretta Holloway - had to climb up a rickety ladder to play on the back of a flat-bed lorry. The KLF were given a fee of 1000 Scottish pound notes, "upon each of >> which they scribbled the message 'we love you children' before throwing them to the crowd". (Matthew Collin, "Altered State", page >> 106 - the only reference in the entire book to the KLF, bizzarely). >> About 4000 people attended the rave, and despite the drizzle, "the mood was elevated". On the same night, incidentally, another rave in >> South London was the site of a battle with police which resulted in seven officers being hospitalised.

Not Scots, just Scott-ish.
