I think most interesting thing in Roberts comments was amount spend to recording with metal band. It's of course ENT and Black Room, and I think with 150K you can get more than those shitty demos circulating.. ;) And also that this was kind a "teaser" for longer documentary, that was never released. It has to be somewhere. -- anttil. On 04/12/15 16:29, TheMgnt--- via KLF wrote:
Coming out of hiding... Yes thank you for this, and, Antti, for the comments from Wallace below. I hadn't seen this either! I've been on this list for nearly 20 years. I'm so pleased it's still active and hasn't devolved into irrelevant nonsense! -paul Message: 3 Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 10:39:09 +0200 From: Antti Lavio <antti.lavio@possu.org> To: "All bound for Mu-Mu Land." <klf@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [KLF] The Making of...

I contacted maker of this, Robert Wallace couple of years ago. You can find his Vimeo account here https://vimeo.com/user13775984 and original source here https://vimeo.com/64374194
I asked him about that video:
" I was a film editor at the time and had cut 'Grim up North' which was also directed by Bill Butt. Bill Drummond wanted a record of the Pinewood videos, I think the budget was ?250K for both, (big budget by today's standards) I remember B telling me they wanted to burn the longship but in the end used SPX gas so they didn't upset the Viking Society. They gave me free rein to make the film which was a lot of fun especially interviewing Tammy Wynette -unfortunately they disbanded before releasing the doc and as far as I know it was never shown. I found one of the Flying V guitars on the floor of the studio after the after shoot party and brought it in to the transfer and gave it to Jimmy. He later remarked that as he walked up Wardour st carrying the guitar passers by were thinking he thought he looked like a rock star and of course he was, had a top 10 hit. After finishing those videos, a very busy schedule, which also included studio recording with a metal band that cost I think ?150K and never released, they announced that they were taking a break, I loved their attitude to the business and to money, literally burning it. I was sorry not to finish the film, thanks for your message, all best Rob."
