Kopyright Liberation Front - Waiting For The Rights Of Mu

Ripped from a compact disc album released on Echo Beach Records (EB 014) in 1997 to high quality lossless flac audio. Now this is the last of my KLF ....I promise. In theory it was also their final release proper which snuck out when everybody had given up paying attention to the work of Cauty and Drummond. Supposedly a movie soundtrack, though more over the antidote to Chill Out. Martin Sheen narrates... To quote blog contributor penguinflight.... Martin Sheen Joins The Jams. Aye, sod Whitney! If I don't hear Hueys dusting off in the background I'll know Marlon didn't make it...

2K - ***k The Millennium

Ripped from a Japanese compact disc mini-album released on KLF Communications/Blast First (TOCP-50386) in 1997 to high quality lossless flac audio. Somebody came up with idea of a brass band covering acid house, in particular What Time s Love?, so The KLF piled in and fucked it up. Bring back the bagpipes I say! Somewhere among the credits I notice Donald Johnson adds the live drums on this limited Japanese release. Well worth the listen for the ear splitting 14 minute opus that is the title track.

Ripped from a compact disc album released on KLF Communications (SPACE CD 1) in 1990 to high quality lossless flac audio. Time to end this run of JAMs/KLF etc etc with Jimmy Cauty's Space compact disc. The whole thing runs as just one track which I have left as is. Enjoy your weekends.

The KLF vs. The BPI

The KLF vs. Extreme Noise Terror - 3 A.M. Eternal

Ripped from a crackly 7" vinyl single on KLF Communications (KLF 5 TOTP) in 1992 to high resolution 24-bit lossless flac audio. I had always thought this was one their finest moments at the 1992 Brit Awards ceremony ...when Bill Drummond unleashed semi-automatic fire over the heads of the massed industry liggers. Play loud!

The KLF - Justified & Ancient

Ripped from a compact disc single released on KLF Communications (KLF 99CD) in 1991 to high quality lossless flac audio. The KLF invade America and come back with Tammy Wynette! Quite possibly one of the worst singles ever released.

The KLF - America: What Time Is Love?

Ripped from a compact disc single released on KLF Communications (KLF USA 4CD) in 1991 to high quality lossless flac audio. The KLF attempt to give their colonial chums a history lesson! Any disco-pop record featuring bagpipes is damn fine with me.

The KLF - The White Room

Ripped from a vinyl album released on KLF Communications (JAMSLP 006) in 1991 to high resolution 24-bit lossless flac audio. The White Room was originally planned as The KLF's road movie, it was filmed and a soundtrack recorded however neither were officially released. As one of music's most bootlegged bands, there are copies available and the movie is freely available on YouTube, 

The eventual White Room album was mostly re-recorded using some of the musical ideas from the original soundtrack, mixed in with newer material and audience noise (courtesy of U2 and The Doors live albums) to give the impression of a live show. Licensing 'issues' in the USA resulted in an abridged version where most of the live audience samples were edited out. The album spawned a multitude of hit singles as the KLF became heroes of the nineties disco kids. You will be relieved to know that Tammy Wynette does not feature on this record!

The KLF - What Time Is Love (Live At Trancentral)

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on KLF Communications (KLF 004X) in 1990 to high resolution 24-bit lossless flac audio. Under the false pretenses of being actually live, The KLF introduce us to the very short career of  M.C. Bello. Former 400 Blow and Moody Boy, Tony Thorpe takes over sampling duties and PP Arnold is roped in for backing vocals. The masses lapped it all up.

Chilled Out

The KLF - Chill Out

Ripped from a vinyl album released on KLF Communications (JAMS LP5) in 1990 to high resolution 24-bit lossless flac audio. A few years back, I ripped the compact disc version and posted it here. Now seems the right time to have a go at extracting from the vinyl - except for a the occasional clicks'n'pops (and some of those come from railroad-side campfires) - I'd say I am please with the results. 

The cover states there are 14 tracks but it rips as one complete piece of music (I've split the tracks as per the published timings) however 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 your feet up, put this on the hi-fi, sit back, relax and then enjoy from beginning to end.

The KLF - The What Time Is Love CD

Ripped from a compact disc album released on KLF Communications (JAMS CD4) in 1989 to high quality lossless flac audio. Two mixes by The KLF accompany a variety of cover versions by euro-disco-house fanatics. The title of this post sums up my feelings on the matter so I won't be covering the multitude of versions and mixes made available from 1990 onwards, except maybe one from penguinflight's stash.

3  K.L.F.S. - What Time Is Love (Italian Mix)
4  Liaisons D. - Heartbeat

The KLF - Kylie Said To Jason

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on KLF Communications (KLF 010T) in 1989 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. Take a trip down memory lane with Cauty & Drummond's tribute to the eighties phenomenea of soaps & sitcoms in a variety of mixes. Oh baby!

The KLF - What Time Is Love?

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on KLF Communications (KLF 004T) in 1988 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. Originally snuck out in a limited release of only 2000 copies, The KLF borrow heavily from Section 25's Program For Light and eventually make a mint - the subsequent 1990 and 1991 re-releases in a multitude of mixes sold by the bucket load.. You'll notice a little high frequency distortion, likely down to mastering errors on the original vinyl pressings, rather than a fluffy stylus.

Disco 2000 - One Love Nation

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on KLF Communications (D 2002) in 1988 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. The JAMs backing singers were June Montana (ex-Brilliant) and Jimmy Cauty's wife Cressida. In a brief hybrid of The KLF, they became Disco 2000 and released three feisty disco singles, more Bananrama in style than Justified and Ancient in attitude. Most should recognise One Love Nation as a re-working of The JAMs Candystore.

Disco 2000 - Uptight

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on KLF Communications (D 2003) in 1988 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. I gave up my copy of I Gotta CD many years ago, so have included an indifferent lossless rip of this single in the archive. Thanks again to penguinflight for these two.

The KLF - Burn The Bastards

Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on KLF Communications (KLF 002T) in 1988 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. With 1987 out of the way, The JAMs were no more and were now The KLF. 1988 was going to be a big year, but first they had to play tribute to Sly Stone and a host of others in this disco party mash-up from the end of 1987. Also recorded as JAMs Have A Party and Burn The Beat, this final fling from the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu failed to break the charts, it is likely the title chosen for the single prevented any airplay.
