This is what they wrote... "The next single (in September 95) was a cover of the Bee-Gees' disco anthem 'Stayin Alive.' This track was the first to feature Viveen Wray and ex KLF rapper Ricardo Da Force. N-trance have always cited the KLF as one of their biggest influences and this collaboration proved to be their biggest hit to date, charting in every European country, Japan, USA, South America and reaching number one in Australia, Canada and South Africa.

Well, we did have a mail from the Site Manager, Mr Galloway, who we could surmise might be related in some way to Mr Vitanen of Kalevala, amongst others... :-) I suspect that B&J have had an avalanche of mail directed at them via the web site about every one of the millions of contradictions built into thie careers, and that is why their names were replaced with that of Mr Galloway on the Plant Hire Pages. Take, for example, the Dave Buckle thing. The list got the message anyway, without the floods of 'handmaiden' type mail that might materialise if B&J explicitly mailed us about it, and we duly supplied all the info we have, and if B, J or Mr Galloway are lurking on the list (can Lazlo confirm or deny this?) they will have the benefit of our findings. A big base of dedicated followers can be a very scary thing, and I think they are quite wise to approach us obliquely! But of course I'd be glad if they proved me wrong... The band Underworld used to occasionally write on their mailing list, and once it became known that they rarely (if ever) wrote explicit replies to qestions, and wouldn't only comment when they felt like it, we all got along fine. I think we may hear more from the site Manager when they brick collection needs to be organised - B&J probably know we can be relied on to throw up a collection of committed people willing to help out. I for one would love to spend the first few moments of the next millennium starting to put brick on top of brick at a location 'not in the South of England' - - andy R. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info klf" in the message. # Postings must go to klf@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 18:47:12 +0100 From: Andy Robinson Subject: Re: (klf) 1987 PHILLMANS wrote: > 1987 is rare but not that rare, i don't know how many survived in > total but there's nearly always a copy for sale somewhere ranging > from 50-70 UKP. I suspect this is a classic example of overpriced rare record syndrome... When the record was withdrawn, the music press covered it in some depth, so every secondhand shop and record dealer instantly marked up thier stock drastically. Quite a few people would have bought 1987 before the ban and not liked it, and they have gradually, over the years, sold their copies to the shops at a high price. So there are now many copies of 1987 about, but the shops can't afford to cut the prices to the point where they sell, because that would mean they would be making a loss. This often happens to records, even when they are very widely available. Try buying (for example) the remix single of Depeche Mode's "Master & Servant" (which was limited to about 50,000 copies - ie. more than it would ever sell), and you'll find loads of copies around, at high prices, but try to get the non-limited mixes and you will be in for a long search. Since it does not have "limited edition" on it, the second hand record shops don't care about it, and you can't find it. When, after many months, you do track it down it won't cost you much, though. This is because it isn't 'rare' :-) My ZTT collection is still missing the normal 'white sleeve' 7" version of Propaganda's "Dr. Mabuse", but I could track down a dozen copies of the 'rare' black sleeve version with no problems, all the record dealers have them for sale, because they are 'rare' - - andy R. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info klf" in the message. # Postings must go to klf@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 11:55:13 -0600 From: Don Gagen Subject: RE: (klf) Bill or Jimmy writing to the ist -----Original Message----- From: Andy Robinson [SMTP:Silent@dial.pipex.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 1998 11:47 AM To: klf@xmission.com Subject: Re: (klf) Bill or Jimmy writing to the ist Panayiotis A.

About 7 years ago I wrote them at the address listed in the white room CD. I never got a reply or even the usual fan club information. I also sent an e-mail to the Plant Hire address and received nothing.

Brilliant thing about the KLF is that if you played two of their albums back to back for someone they wouldn't know it was the same group. So, if you're expecting WR, you're in for a shock. History is a best of collection from the pre-Chill Out days and worth picking up if only to hear tracks from rare lps and singles. > Is 17 pounds a good price ? and anything else you might what tell me about it...

Having done exactly the same as you, I recieved replies both times, so I guess they are simply swamped with mail whenever they raise their profiles, and you just didn't happen to be lucky.

I would recommend buying Shag Times instead. It's pretty much the same album, but it has many more tracks than History of the Jamms. It's harder to find, but it's worth it. don DONALD D GAGEN DGAGEN@ENSEMBLE-STUDIOS.COM ENSEMBLE STUDIOS http://www.ensemble.net/studios # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info klf" in the message. # Postings must go to klf@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 13:51:12 +0000 From: Dan Abel Subject: (klf) KLF collectables site just found this: http://people.netcom.co.uk/j.taylor/default.htm I think its priced a little high myself, but others might disagree dan - -- Dan Abel @ AVOCA Systems Ltd. mail: dan@avoca.co.uk fone: 0181 238 9999 phax: 0181 238 9988 The views expressed in this email are my own, are independent of AVOCA Systems Ltd, and are probably too long. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info klf" in the message. # Postings must go to klf@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 06:05:32 PST From: "David Lindgren" Subject: Re: (klf) Bill or Jimmy writing to the ist Hello everybody, this was written earlier: >> About 7 years ago I wrote them at the address listed in the white >> room CD.
