as for Gary Glitter - i'd vote for not including that c**t - but i'd like to see Dotorin' represented somehow - how about the mix from Shag Times, it's one of my favourite tracks, and is a lot more Doctor than Glitter
Ah, but which mix from Shag Times? There's the radio edit and the minimal remix (which is great), remember. I'm always fond of the "video edit" from the Video CD single, which is a bit more obscure but is the version from the video. It's shorter, which leaves more room on the CD for other things, it's arguably the most Glitter-less of all, and as its the video-length version, it's the one many people remember fondly.
for the copies that are dropped in places like HMV and Virgin, we could find something absolutely horrific that's been released and copy it's barcode - potentially sending it to number one despite not actually shifting that many units :) although, tbh, that's probably unlikely
As I said, I reckon if if there's any shameless 40-years-of-Sgt-Peppers CDs brought out by the Beatles' accountants around that time, maybe we should do some barcode filching with that. Alternatively, maybe a barcode from a rare KLF release - JAMSCD4 or something. Imagine "The What Time is Love Story" in the top twenty in May 2007! :-)
Great idea about bar codes for HMV and the like, it would mean people might be able to buy them because i dont think many KLF'ers would try to steal them, unless they have a sticker on saying 'FREE please take me home'... We could also leave some in coffee shops for people to take, just tell them its a free promotion, they have those crappy hairdresser flyers.

only possible issue with the barcodes is it means people will get charged 10 quid or whatever for our CD, and presumably that money will go to the store and the record company who owned the barcode we sto...liberated =/ tbc.

I could supply real barcode labels if in need. I happen to work with a special barcode generating prgr. - carsten Elliott schrieb:
