I used to have 2 copies of KLF5T and the original and the bootleg of KLF8T. KLF5T is definitely dated 1988 on the sleeve, as it was originally due for release on Hallowe'en 1988, but re-scheduled and put out in May 1989. All four KLF4T,R,5T,5R are all dated 1988 on the sleeve, despite that fact only the original issue of WTIL (KLF4T) actually appeared in 1988. Also, KLF4T, 5T and 5R were all reissued in July 1991. The only difference between the issues is that 5R didn't have a sticker in 1991. 4T and 5T were identical (apart from the inner white sleeves - original 1988/1989 issued tended to have the date written on the (11/88 etc.)) I'm not 100% sure about KLF8R (I can't remember the sleeve) but again its release date was put back, from 19th December 1988, to its eventual release in March 1990. KLF8T's release date was put back from 12 December 1988 to September 1989, and then dropped completely. The 1989 date sounds about right - especially as both it and "Chill Out" were released more or less on the cusp of the new decade. Basically, don't worry. I'm sure both your items are legit, at least far as I can without seeing them. Oh, and check those inner sleeves!

I need some help, i have been checking through some more of my records to sell on ebay against the KLF.de list, first my 'KLF 008R LTTT 5' says 1989 and the tracks just say, a side:remix 1& b side:remix 2. On the web site it says 1990, 1 remix and the original. I dont have a record player anymore so i cannot listen to them. And my 3 am Pure Trance 2 'KLF 005T' is dated 1988. Who out of you, has these and can check for me?, if you have any spare time that is.
Many thanks in advance Elliott.
