I worship at the Church of the KLF and collect all things Drummond. Recently bought a documentary about him on Blu Ray, which I’ll look forward to watching once I wrestle the TV back from my lad and his new PlayStation.
If you’re a fan, I’d recommend tracking down some of the ‘Recovered and Remastered’ CDs. It was a series of unofficial remasters and remixes of The KLF’s work, under all their aliases. The folk that made them got told to stop halfway through (ironic really, considering the pilfering that Cauty and Drummond did!), but they did more to order for the people like me that had bought them all. They sound fantastic and I prefer their remix of Chill Out to the original album. They pop up on eBay occasionally and whilst they are not always cheap, if you are a fan you’ll find they are worth the money.
I’m a fan @paul-wad but not that much of a fan! I’m a bit confused by their output but want “Last Train to Transcentral” played at my funeral. Over and out.
I think I have posted this clip more than any other on here. “Interestingly”. Scunthorpe being in the North was discussed on Only Connect the other day. It’s on the list here – so that’s good enough for me.
He gets Barnsley out of the way early on, just after Bolton.
When my health took a big turn for the worse, either just before or just after my spinal cord surgery, an artist mate of mine tried to arrange for Bill Drummond to come round and make me some soup, but he didn’t have the time in his schedule or something, so it never happened. It would have been brill though, providing he didn’t mind feeding me!
Just downloaded the new ‘album’ and it sounds terrific. They have (or somebody has) worked on the tracks too, as they sound far better than most of the versions that I have and some are subtly different mixes. In fact the only track that I have in as good sound quality is the Extreme Noise Terror version of 3 A.M. Eternal, as it was on one of the Recovered and Remastered discs, although I haven’t compared the mixes to see if they’re the same. At the risk of giving someone an idea for an AW t-shirt, I have 23 different mixes of this track!
But as an intro to the genius of Drummond and Cauty the selection couldn’t be better. I’m terribly excited to hear what’s coming next, although slightly nervous, as the KLF, along with Stephen Duffy and Pet Shop Boys, are a band that I would want everything by, so I’d rather they didn’t come out with a McCartney priced boxed set.

Nice one, that’s worth keeping an eye out for. I am excited by the idea of what’s to come this year.

I know where you can ‘find’ Arkive 1-5.
Paul Wad says
Ah, there’s some stuff on those I don’t have. Pray tell.

Bloody hell @paul-wad . See my post on the MF Doom thread.

Mansfield gets in it. I lived there at the time and was chuffed at the idea, even though I knew it wasn’t true.

‘tis very good @black-celebration
Hopefully this will be on one of the 5 available “albums” soon.

Yes this is pretty much the playlist of the hits – they sound fresh and exciting. Intrigued about what is coming next.
