I might be missing out, but I don't believe this at all. If this really is the original - as opposed to either (a) more copies of a bootleg from a while back or (b) a new bootleg, Esprit should be selling it for a darned sight more than £25. Esprit have some interesting things, but they do charge a lot for them. Compare this price with some of their other current KLF items: The US White Room + J&A CD single (which you can still buy!!) - £30 The "longboat" picture disc (of which there are supposed to be 4000, rather more than just 350) - £50 The Shag Times LP (I've had two of these at different times, and I've seen others) - £30 The WTIL (Power Remix CD Single) - £50 I'd say that an original grey vinyl IGUN is worth more than any of these, and yet they only charge £25 - in my opinion, no way is this an original. Odd too isn't it that they haven't just found one, but have "a few copies", just like the mysterious, but obviously bootleg copies, "Chill Out" and "1987" LPs which surfaced in bulk earlier in the year.

You might be surprised. Admittedly, "BW" is never going to please everyone but I think it a superb piece of literature. Z does get a bit on the worryingside of dark but it all goes to contrast against Bill's report. Bill tends to put himself down and think he's dark and peverted but Z shows him for the well-balanced individual he is. Well, as well balanced as the rest of us at least. Honestly, it is an excellent piece of reporting/fantasy and you'd be doing yourself no favours if you dismissed it without at least trying to get into their world.

So I'll step in and do it for him :-) Actually not a holiday, but work placement. But at the Cannes film festival, so it's not all bad... and this is where it gets back ontopic! Whilst there I got talking to a couple of the directors of the Portobello Film Festival (annual London-based 'alternative' film festival) who were putting on a daily display, in the British Pavilion at Cannes, of some of the best films that've been shown in the last 7-ish years of the Portobello festival. The days were nicely themed, so one day I got to sit down and watch "Watch The K Foundation Burn A Million Quid" in its entirety (first time I've ever seen the whole film) along with some banned music videos from Mute Records- just myself, a friend, and the Portobello directors, chatting about music and film. Lovely. :-) Anyway, a few brief questions arose to ask this list: Does anyone know why Gimpo decided to take all of the sound off of "Burn A Million Quid" for most of the showings? There was a recorded soundtrack originally, but a lot of the copies Gimpo's given out have (apparently) been silent. It was a shame not to hear the sound. Anybody seen "Concrete Enema"? Apparently the Portobello people have a VHS tape containing 3 hours of the M25 Spin, they'd love to have it all but are considering showing what they've already got at this year's festival. Oh and thanks to John for filling everyone in on the Utah Saints while I was away. :-) Stuart. - -- Stuart Bruce - klf@atomiser.demon.co.uk or preferably stuart@atomiser.demon.co.uk The Utah Saints Mailing List http://www.onelist.com/community/utahsaints/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info klf" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email klf@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 18:25:47 -0400 (EDT) From: Reed Hedges Subject: Re: (klf) drummonds book '45' i thought bad wisdom was great. obscene, perverted, and generally in poor taste. but great fun. never knew what to expect next .. :) rh - -- # ---------------------------------- agentk, dwarf toad, detached, MC, k:k: # ---------------------------------- Reed Hedges # ---------------------------------- reed@zerohour.net # ---------------------------------- http://www.zerohour.net/reed # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info klf" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email klf@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # KLF discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?klf ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 May 2000 08:03:22 +0100 (BST) From: Stuart Bruce Subject: Re: Portbello/Cannes (was RE: (klf) OT: Utah Saints) On Tue 23 May, mute@tpg.com.au wrote: > > > Stuart Bruce wrote: > > > Does anyone know why Gimpo decided to take all of the sound off of > > "Burn A Million Quid" for most of the showings?

That would explain it. We definitely did discuss it; especially when an obnoxious American came in and asked what they were doing, and began to insist that they were going to get arrested for having done that, no matter what I tried to say about the fact it was six years ago now and no legal action was taken to the best of my knowledge...

OK, I'm convinced, so I've ordered one too. I've generally had no problem with EIL, either, although they did once sell me a What Time Is Love TVT 4071 when they'd advertised it as a KLF 004T.

It's an island off the coast of Scotland, still officially the United Kingdom and under the legal jurisdiction of the UK. I can't exactly remember what the real outcome was though- didn't Bill and Jimmy have to pay a fine of a few thousand pounds for having deliberately destroyed money? Something like that, anyway.
