The "ME" track, of course, appears on the "KSTJ" CD single, which I think came out in August 1989 (a week after the 12" and 7"), and the KLF5R Orbital mix came out the next month and it actually mentions the upcoming JAMSLP5 - so "Chill Out" was certainly in the offing at that point. Also, "No More Tears" was planned as a Christmas single (according to press sheets, I think) - hardly the action of a band unconcerned with the vagaries of pop or hit singles.
I think you are maybe reading too much between the lines. Does KLF5R really mention Chill Out? Or does it only mention JAMSLP5? I would imagine that JAMSLP5 would have been either a pure trance LP or more likely it was the new cat no of WROST - remember this was previously heralded as JAMSLP4, but WTILS was released as that no instead. Indeed info sheet 7 still refers to a forthcoming WROST saying that KLF8R is from this. Here's the relevant info sheet mentions... Info sheet 4 - Summer 1989 ---------------------------- We have now finished the film and the sound track. It will def' be called "The White Room". We hope to start showing it from August through til Christmas. The soundtrack L.P. will be out September. The first proper single from it will be out in late July, and be titled "Kylie Said To Jason". We also have a Christmas Record with Children's Choir (your worst fears will be realised). SAY: is the promised children's choir single really No More Tears - might it have been Go to Sleep? K.L.F. INFO SHEET 6. AUG/SEPT. 89. -------------------------------------------------- The next release will be JAMS LP4 - THE WHAT TIME IS LOVE STORY (25th Sept). This is a six-track, 40 minute mid-price LP. It's a sample of some of the illegal (it's in their karma) cover versions of everybody's favourite arm-waving-in-the-lasers track, that have been popping up all over Europe this year. Also included is a recording of the K.L.F.'s premier live performance at The Land of Oz on 31st July 1989. K.L.F. COMMUNICATIONS INFO. SHEET NO.7. DEC.1989 --------------------------------------------------------------------- LAST TRAIN TO TRANCENTRAL. THE KLF. KLF 008R. More from the forthcoming Motion Picture THE WHITE ROOM. Both the A and B side are radical remixes of the original which is yet to see the light of day. The A side is so literal it may be totally unlistenable to anybody who is neither a freight train enthusiast or flat on their backs and out of their heads. You have been warned. The B side is The KLF back in their Pure Trance, crashing the millenium, leaving it's predecessors "What Time Is Love" and "3a.m. Eternal" in the debris of the late eighties. CHILL OUT. THE KLF. JAMS LP5. CHILL OUT was recorded live on location at Trancentral (the spiritual home of The KLF). Don't bother trying to listen to this LP if you have neither first switched off the lights and then laid your body to rest on the floor. Hopefully then the trip will be complete. WARNING -- Drugs can seriously impair/improve your judgement. CHILL OUT will be out in early 1990. -- Stuart Young, Michelle Ardern & Felix Ardern-Young (3) Live at: 42B, Sefton Ave, Grey Lynn, Auckland, NZ Phone: +64 (0)9 376 8100 say.map@ihug.co.nz Graphic and Web design, Web development and hosting: http://www.pixelandgrain.co.nz/ Stuey's personal website - a cobweb site: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~stuey/ Any views expressed in this email are those of the author and not of any of the organisations we are involved with.
