Lazlo is long gone and this community is what we make of it.

Its 2011 now and online music sharing is the norm. We are way behind other such communities i am member's of, which freely distribute to ALL its members, FREELY, the material that is available (did i say freely ?).

Really, what are we waiting for ????

Its a sad state of affair when the only activity here is PVC's annual fundraiser and M25 spin, to which most can't even participate.

Its NOT a knock on Tim's affairs, which is great for the people who buy his stuff and can make the long journey to the UK. Im just saying its a pity that nothing ELSE is going on.

Im glad we've finally woken up and hope that the momentum around the idea of an open sharing of KLF material will continue.

I am putting up a list of what I've got and will be posting to the list.

Cheers,
Xav

PS: i forgot about Rorbert's ftp, sorry. That was a great resource when it was online !!! Thanks Robert :)

The comments I've been hearing are that most on the list don't share even
though this is supposed to be an open community.


Aside from the list's long, long history of sharing via Marshall's old 1987
stock being unearthed, the Arkive CDs, the White Room Soundtrack CDs, the two
Lost Sounds Of Mu volumes, people's home "remasters" of unreleased or OOP
material, people's rips of VHS-only material, people's taping and uploading
of UK-only TV, John Milne (IIRC) ripping and posting big chunks of his
Kollection as he was selling it off... I think it would be hard to argue that
Lazlo founded this list in ...1991? as an "open community" to share mp3s and
FLACS of OOP records.


I'm happy to hear such an argument, but it's going to have to have the same
relationship to actual chronology* as your explanation of the finances behind
your "guarantee" that when Bill makes soup for free for a family of five in
the Hebrides, that they're actually all annuated KLF fans that he's making
money out of.

*some starting points: the records were in print in 1991, the first mp3
encoder wasn't released until 1994, and FLAC wasn't invented until 2001, and
didn't really take off until OiNK's boom, AFAIK, circa 2005-6?
