True, it is very difficult to find rare stuff - I probably will never find that K-Foundation "In The City" CD, nor find the "What Time Is Love Story" on CD for a decent price, but we live in hope! :-) BTW, is there anyone living in the Benelux countries who can check if the Disco 2000 CD single is still in plentiful supply? I know I bought mine from Holland a couple of years ago, and it cost me less than the price of a new CD single! l8rs, Nick ;-)

For me it's rather a kind of changing viewpoint. I have never had the obsession to own every rare item such as the Acid Mix of WTIL. In that case for instance, a perfect CD copy is enough. After all it's music and I want to listen to it. Plus there's no cover art you could be after in that case. Much too boring to buy it only for the purpose of owning it.

When the price goes far beyond resonable I'll just pass.

But I know others where the interest in the item equally goes up with the price! :)

P.S.: Still looking for the Disco 2000 CD single... ;)

It's also about money - and a lack of it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to make a profit out of this; that's not why I bought them in the first place. However, rather than having a copy of _every_ single vinyl they pressed; I'm now looking at streamlining my collection down to just copies of what I consider to be special to me.

Maybe it's just a matter of space (physical, rather than SPACECD1 or white label promo).

And it was all, really, a long time ago. "AWTIL?" came out when I was still at school, which is really quite a scary concept as the years go by. But these things are bound to go through phases. About 6-7 years ago, as people lost interest, you couldn't go into a record shop without tripping over some rare Smiths item (I once got the "Headmaster Ritual" CD single for £2 - and it usually goes for around £80!)

Maybe in times to come the KLF will be seen as the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band (court jesters) of the early 1990s. Like the Bonzos, there was a lot of intelligence and depth in some of the music they did (of course!) but they'll always be remembered for one thing ("Urban Spaceman" in the Bonzos case, burning a million quid in B & J's).

And Bill, to those in the know, will always be an enigmatic, eccentric figure (like Vivian Stanshall) whereas Jimmy is the melodic, musical powerhouse (like Neil Innes). And it's taken nearly 30 years for some of Neil Innes's solo albums to be re-released on CD! So ... it may take a long time, but KLF interest will reignite. How could it not? It's a great tale to tell your grandkids!

Something is very wrong here, almost every KLF fan incl. me Kollected a huge number of items from all over the world and I've noticed that after 5 or 10 years is thinkin' of sellin' the lot. I dont even think that it's for the profit sometimes, it looks like some people incl. serious fans that I know from here for years are just gettin' b0red with the KLF or at least with what *USED* to be their most percious Kollection, and vinyls go first, very odd! Do I make any sence?

It is a rare one - single-sided promo marked up as if it was the standard 7" release but without the machine gun intro. 45? is still a bit steep however.

On a side note, I'm considering selling a number of items in my collection - I'll put a list together in a couple of days in case anyone wants to make an offer.
