There is one other option - we make up and put out a "greatest hits" ourselves. We all agree on a title, artwork (which can uploaded somewhere, and then printed off), tracklisting (lots of rarities on there), maybe even type up a small informative booklet - and burn off a selected number of CDRs (say 10 copies each). People could upload WAVs to somewhere, and they could be access for burning purposes. Then, we all go to local record shops, and drop the CDs into the racks (KLF ones, if they have then; related artists or ones who have fans that might be KLF-interested if they don't). People will find them, and either take them home or give them to the cashier (who will be confused, or delighted, or ... oh, there's 100s of possibilities). We could still make them look slightly cheap (by necessity, I suppose) and then remove everything on-line so people can't just print up new copies. It could be this year's Bansky/Paris Hilton sensation! This could all be done on the 20th anniversary of the release of 1987, in May. Gives us time to plan ...

this is the best idea ive heard in a long time and the only one i can see bill and jimmy really going for.
somebody who has access to bill and/or jimmy, please forward johns idea to them.
i only hope some copies make it out to the great truckstops of the american west so that some amphetamine hopped-up trucker can put it on an hour out of barstow, after finishing his john grisham book-on-tape of course, and has his mind blown.

Personally, I'd like to see a "best of", cheapily made, with a booklet full of spelling mistakes and factual erros, put out by a label like Castle Communications. Then, this greatest hits (which would include EVERY single, possibly as a two-disc set) would be sold for around £4, and be mostly found alongside the Patsy Cline and ropey Willie Nelson live CDs at service stations and mini-markets. You can still pick up "Energy DJ's In the House" at such places.

what a great idea the klf greatest hits fan club CD , do you think malicious damage would take the idea on or is that getting to main stream ? ( only include the very rare tunes not the every day ones) or a reworking of the white room for 2007 we could mach up the track list from the original to obscure remixes of those tunes, if we do it does it make it a bootleg ? ha ha John Milne <john@highlandland.fsnet.co.uk> wrote: There is one other option - we make up and put out a "greatest hits" ourselves.

now that is a blinding suggestion - that would be so cool and i like the idea that even if Bill and Jimmy are (likely) not going to doing anything to mark the anniversary, that something will be done anyway. after all those years of watching them take the piss out of the music industry, finally us fans are taking up the gauntlet to carry on where they left off... or something regardless, it's something we should do anyway
