Well . thanks to everyone's responses about "Last Train" and "Go to Sleep" as they appear in TWR movie (please note, a third version also appears in the soundtrack, near the beginning of the Sierra Nevada scenes, but that IS KLF8R "Remix 2", so it need not bother us here. And I think, on reflection, "Go To Sleep" with the extra verse is probably just the 12" version. So that shouldn't bother us either). One or two points - the first "LTTT" track is definitely NOT "The Sheriff of Mu Mu County." Going by the (wonderful) interview rams downloadable from brandnew.co.uk, "The Sheriff ." was a late 1990 reworking of "The Lover's Side" (in particular, the horn section) which was probably intended either for "The White Room" JAMSLP6 (along with "Born Free", it's the only JAMSLP4 aborted track that doesn't reappear on its 1991 namesake). I had never really thought about the vocals/lyrics elements of JAMSLP6 before, but that is a very good point. "LTTT" in its many incarnations seems to made up various little bits of a jigsaw, made in different permutations, all leading back to a source. I don't think that source was "Go to Sleep". I think it was something earlier - something far less "song-y". I also think the story that KLF8R is a radical reworking may be a typical KLF smokescreen. It's a radical reworking of "Go To Sleep", fair enough - but it's still recognisable. I would be very surprised if KLF8T didn't have the trilling keyboards (although the trumpets would be another matter) and a tune which is essentially the same. Anyway, talking of "Go To Sleep", that's where I'm off to now ... John PS - Please feel free to use the title of this post as a name for a radical KLF/Sun-era Elvis Presley soundclash 12".
There's also the little bit that appears in the Virtual Reality mix of What Time Is Love. Where it goes "E-e-e-e-e" over and over again before the Go To Sleep at the end. "E Train to Trancentral" anyone? Just a thought... Del

Someone stated that theory years ago(can't remember who). I think this IS "e-train", because: 1) the "E-E- E"-vocal 2) the fact that the underlaying music doesn't sounds like any knows tracks. 3) the VR-mix was put together but bits of old stuff (chillout, go to sleep, wtil). 4) the "go to sleep" in the VR-mix sounds like its not part of the underlaying track When I find the time, I'll check out "this is not what the klf is about", becasuse I think this track can tell more on the subject (the E-tune is also included here I think).
