Well, I was trying to buy the Last train to trancentral 12" and the record shop coulnt get the record in for that reason as it was soon after it went bust. Surely they lost bundles of money at the time? Unless they had an advance for the next record at the right moment? Maybe their next distributor was better? ----- Original Message ----- From: John Milne To: All bound for Mu-Mu Land.

An interesting watch, at least until the Strokes appeared (says the old fogey). There was a couple of minutes footage of the KLF doing WTIL on TOTP (version 1) and KLF got mentioned in a role-call of independent labels (alongside RT, Mute, Factory and Beggars Banquet) who were commercially successful at the beginning of the 1990s. Also - a technical question: if Rough Trade (and Rough Trade Distribution) went bust in March 1991, and KLF Comms were handled by Rough Trade Distribution, then how were their records put out between March '91 and March '92 (surely, by far their most commercial period?) Did the KLF lose money - or conversely, did they actually make more being cut free from Rough Trade? Or did it make no difference? Anyway, the doc can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00j4dx5/b00j4dvm/Do_it_Yourself_The_St... (or it will be, once the Beeb have upped it!) And BBC4 will presumably repeat it ad nauseum for the next few months. They always do with these things.
