Dan, I have a few questions.
1) Is there any difference between the albums version of Make It Rain
and No More Tears and the ones featured on this promo 12"
(http://www.discogs.com/KLF-Make-It-Rain-No-More-Tears/release/144646)?
Here's the listing from Lazlo's discography machine:
The KLF: Make It Rain
[Feb 1991] promo single
12": 1991 UK (KLF Communications; KLF LP PROMO1) [promo x1729]
4:00 Make It Rain
9:24 No More Tears
[White Room sampler]
I used to own this 12" and as I recall Make it Rain is the UK album version just without the crowd noise on either side but otherwise the same mix. This mix may also be found onthe Japanese "Mu" CD. The version on the US White Room is somewhat different as it omits samples found on the UK version. No More Tears is just the UK album mix.
2) Any info on this release
(http://www.discogs.com/KLF-What-Time-Is-Love-Acid-Mix/release/106602)?
Also from Lazlo's Discogrphy machine:
The KLF: America: What Time Is Love?
[Oct 1991] single
CD3: 1992 JP (Toshiba TODP-2332) [promo]
CD3: 1992 JP (Toshiba TODP-2332)
[2 tracks]
12"WL: 1991 UK (KLF Communications; KLF 92 PROMO 2) [promo x50?; Dec 91]
7:23 January: What Time Is Love?
[New-Year's "America: WTIL?" with "Auld Lang Syne" bagpipe intro]
12"WL: 1992 UK (KLF Communications; KLF 92 PROMO 3) [promo x20? more?]
5:49 What Time Is Love? (acid mix)
I own promo 2 but know nothing about promo 3 unfortunately. Never heard the audio but I think someone on the list has this.
3) Do you have any interesting stories on The Black Room?
Every factual thing I know about The Black Room may be found in this excellent Wikipedia article:
Everything beyond what's in that article are things I've heard third or fourth hand and may be total fiction. About 12 years ago, I had a female friend from this list (nice girl) who allegedly had a friend who was associated with the KLF at some point. This guy supposedly had a big box of things that The KLF pressed but chose not to release. Among them was a CD EP called "The Land of Mu" which had four or five tracks and featured "The Sheriff of Mu Mu County" a pressed CD of "The Black Room" housed in a pure black jewel case that was withdrawn before release (in a similar way in which Prince deleted his "Black Album" famously after hundreds of thousands of copies were pressed and ready to ship, costing Warners millions of dollars), and a few other things. According to this guy via this girl, B&J recorded or partially recorded this album three times, each time scrapping the sessions after significant recording and mixing then starting again. One of these versions was said to contain the theme to Peter Gunn at least in part. According to this guy via this girl, The KLF would frequently finish a product, press several copies, then change their minds and never release the final product. This part jibes with other reports I've heard from credible sources but everything beyond this point and what's in the Wikipedia article is probably just fiction, I think this girl although sweet just liked to tell stories.
4) Can you rip the LP version of Space eventually?
Last night! Check your email :-)
