Is there an archive of these promo's and the mailing releases they did? I have the last mailshot - #23. Andrew ps. Respect to Sara Cox on UK radio 1 for playing 3am eternal (ssl) this morning - made my day that did! ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Parker" <James.Parker@flgroup.co.uk> To: <klf@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 10:50 AM Subject: RE: [KLF] Space lp oddity
Thats the promo sheet material. I have it on an A4 letter headed sheet with my white label copy.
"SPACE" by SPACE. Release date, 16th July 1990.
Distribiution Girl - Part Five. June 1990. The Party is over. What is left of the E Generation have all gone off to Glastonbury. Distribution Girl sits on the floor alone. It's 3.23 A.M.. The T.V. lies broken in the corner. An empty record deck spins silently by her bed. Last year's flyers lie scattered across the floor.
"Was there any point to any of it." Was a half formed thought that almost drifted across her brain. She picks up the unopened album mailer. She already knows whats inside. Can she be bothered opening it? She does. A K.L.F. Communications Promo' L.P. and press release. She shuffles off to bed. Lying there she attempts to read the press release.
"SPACE". A FORTY MINUTE ROLLERCOASTER RIDE AROUND THE SOLAR SYSTEM, WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY J.CAUTY. ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE THE ORB'S DEBUT ALBUM. NOW SIMPLY "SPACE" BY SPACE FOLLOWING THE SPLIT OF THE ORB IN APRIL 1990.
" How boring, another group splits"
The press release rants on. The odd line caught her eye.
CONCEPT ALBUM... AMBIENT HOUSE SPECTACULAR.... SOLAR ERUPTIONS.....
"As if anybody is going to be interested at this late stage."
THE ULTIMATE TRIP... TWO TWELVE YEAR OLD CHILDREN ARE ACCIDENTALLY LAUNCHED INTO SPACE.... MERCURY. VENUS. MARS. SATURN. URANUS. PLUTO. JUPITER. NEPTUNE..... A VIRTUAL REALITY SOUNDTRACK......
She puts on her headphones. Lets the needle drop on the record. Pulls the light cord above her head and lies back into the darkness.

Thirty five minutes later Distribution Girl is hurtling through the Void. Re-entering the Earth's Stratosphere at thirty thousand M.P.H. Her bed is shaking violently. The room is spinning out of control. She tries to reach for the record player but it has turned into a bank of Retro Rocket Booster Controls. The Re- entry roar is almost too loud for even her ears to take. Finally sucked from her capsule, Distribution Girl is falling through the clouds. The only sound is that of her heart beat. The Pacific Ocean is approaching at twenty three feet per second.
Plop.

Thats all of the transcript - the number 2 in the middle is at the bottom of the first page - page 2 of 3. Make of it what you will.
