Its often quite common for pressing plant workers to "knock"
off some pressings at the end of a run, say of 1000. That's why you see
clear and coloured vinyl. all down to the employees of the plant. It was
quite a common occurrence. FGTH have many coloured, clear vinyl
pressings.
I've got a mustard KLF5TOTP 7" - it's actually more 'tangerine
orange' than mustard though. I've also got the clear version and a
test pressing of it as well. I've also heard mention that only the
black one is the genuine article and that the coloured (and clear) ones
were pressed up by someone else. If that's true though, they must
have had access to the plates as the markings on the run-outs are
identical in all cases (and clear vinyl is quite expensive to press
up?). I've also heard there were some blue versions of the 7"
pressed - anyone know anything about these?

If I remember correctly and its the KLF vs ENT single that
you are referring
to,then it was only released in a limited number
of one sided black 7".I
recall that the deal was that you sent £2
mail order,and if you were too
late to get a copy,then you got a
melon instead.Whether anyone actually got
a melon remains a mystery
to me..but I DID get the single.
thats the one
but i do have a clear 7" too, still looking for the mustard one... if
one exists, anyone know or have it?
I got into the klf after
seeing the Ford Timelord in Charlton, SE London, going home and then
seeing the 3am eternal video on TV. I put that down to fait, so this
began my long arduous task of collecting "The KLF". i only had about 20
original items, the rest was recorded for me by a friend that had vast
amounts of the stuff. Then i got a computer and BAM my credit cards were
hammered. I will continue to collect and give the whole lot to my son
(aged 20 months at present) when his 18 to do with as he pleases. or
should i wait till he's 33 or even 45???
Would be nice to hear
any other stories of how people began collecting "The
KLF".

I'm
thinking of aquiring a klf/2k credit card with the million pounds
(looked burnt to me) i found in a suitcase at some museum just for
buying klf material were i get 10% on purchases.. LOL.
