Shag Fest


The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu - Shag Times
Ripped from a double vinyl album released on KLF Communications (JAMS LP 3) in 1989 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. I upped a rip of my cd version of this several years ago, so I thought I'd have a go at the vinyl double album.
Shag Times does feature a few tracks from 1987, but moves things on a bit with excerpts from the more mundane Who Killed The Jams?, alongside the classic JAMs singles and those from the Disco 2000, Timelords and KLF alter-egos.
Nobody is safe from the master samplers as they flaunt copyrights at every opportunity set to an eighties scotch-rap beat. Whitney Joins The Jams was a big favourite back then as the late pop-soul songstress gets mullered by Drummond and Cauty to an Isaac Hayes disco beat, British heirloom Petula Clark goes gospel house in the glorious Downtown which in truth celebrates alcoholic down'n'outs, Sly Stone gets ripped off on the hi-energy Burn The Bastards, then follows the huge hit Doctorin' The Tardis, which all connected eventually disassociated themselves following the Gary Glitter revelations.

KLF - Chill Out
I was turned off by the acid house scene and avoided the KLF big dance hits What Time Is Love? and 3AM Eternal. Chill Out was something quite different. By the late eighties Jimmy Cauty had also been part of The Orb project, and my final JAMs related post is this 45 minute esoteric opus. The cover states there are 14 tracks but it rips as one complete piece of music, and I strongly recommend that the only way to appreciate Chill Out is to listen from beginning to end. So, make yourself a cup of coffee, put this on your hi-fi, sit back and relax, and enjoy from beginning to end.

Ripped from a compact disc released on KLF Communications (JAMS CD5) in 1990 to high quality lossless flac audio.
