This article is a scam made up by someone we all know and love for it. My name is Micael Mac and the tracks Hardcore Outlaw and President Bass were released by my good self in the Summer of 1992 on white label, I sent copy to Bill Drummond. So if anyone want to buy a copy I have about 2 or 3 left. Cheers Michael Mac

I seem to recall that this piece (from the second, and final, issue) had a picture of Jimmy Cauty sitting on a real lash-up of a combo. Long, straggly hair, army greatcoat, looking miserable as sin. The sidecar chassis had a threadbare old 1950s armchair strapped to it. The caption was excellent (possibly the work of Mark Graham). It read: "Mr James Cauty, a stickler for detail, and his painstakingly restored Panther combination." Mick P, Rome, Italy

KLF live in the ethos of every person who shares music of any type. Just as the Justified Ancients transcended music, we transcend the logical future of the music business itself. We are the future the fuckers in suits deny and terrorize. We are the bringing down of the old regime of old boys and moneymakers. We are the coming of the storm and have been since the glorious death of our musical saviors. We are the Children of MU. We are righteous. WE ARE THE FUTURE!

It's great that someone broke free and was able to publish. I thinking at the time, that Phil was crazy. But, now. Sadly, I realize my English friend was right. The world my friends is not as not as you think it is. It's controled, manipulated, and 'mkultra'/'monarch'/'bluebeam'-d even, by people with more money than you, because they print it. Oh and you believe it's value: (food getting expensive? maybe your money is worth a lot less because they are printing more and putting more into circulation.. go on, find out more). Anyway, like Phil; I checked out too. Not by burning a million, but quietly on my own leaving the Alister Crowley culture, and living away from the aftermath of our songs. I hope in the end that someone here does not do 'what thy wilt', and comes to the truth way and the life. To my friends, frank

Comment posted by Guest on 2008-03-30 13:01:46

I PERSONALLY witnessed Bill Drummond and Jimi Cauty come into The Foundry bar in London (co-owned by Drummond) one night and slip quietly into the little library room where Gimpo, (their collaborator and at that time The Foundry's manager) kept them supplied with drinks. It was the only time I ever saw the door to this room off the main bar actually closed (I hadn't previously noticed there was an actual door for the doorway!). Anyway, after they were well oiled and actually singing (!), they were finally joined by an incomer who chatted with Gimpo for a while first and when the door was opened to admit this stranger, Bill was quite loudly heard to exclaim 'Michael K, leader of The Jams'. What followed was obviously the reunion of three scamsters extraordinaire so don't tell me that the KLF experts at Wikipedia have even the slightest clue about this outfit's history!!

I think the riff from Judas' Death (in JCS) is too similar to What time is love? to be any form of coincidence. I think they lifted it note for note and dropped it in their track, albeit maybe played by themselves on their synth.

"It is clear those individual who burnt a million pounds are sick and selfish individuals.." interesting. Do you think that every rich millionaire on earth is sick and selfish? Because I don't see any difference in burning a million pounds in cash or buying your 3rd $8 million house were you only stay 5 weeks a year (Tom Cruise) or your 3rd Bentley (when you have already 6 other luxury cars, (random mtv Rapper) or your 400th pair of designer shoes you only wear 1 evening (any female celeb) Still those people are heroes and all the poor workers that make $5/ hour pay to see their movies, listen to their songs, watch their games or read about them in trash magazines KLF burned a million, but they made people think. You could argue that a few rich bastards think twice about their own luxury and decide to give more to charity, so that in the end KLF's 1 million became MORE

I can't wait for my copy of the Manual to arrive... I ordered it, only $14! :D Btw, read Bill Drummond's book "45". It's a very clever, well written, funny, and thought-provoking set of memoirs. Probably the most fun I've had reading a book in years.

"This guy has a very complex general scheme and I don't fully understand his purpose," says Piering. "But it's certainly more to do with guerilla media manipulation than music. He's deeply absorbed in what he's doing, but I have a feeling that he's a bit deluded, if not demented."

"Liverpool School Of Dream And Pun" should read "Liverpool School Of Language, Music, Dream And Pun", founded by Peter O'Halligan, Sean Halligan and Charlie Alexander as the original "Aunt Twacky's". They created the first Annual Jung Festival in 1976 where Deaf School played their first outside gig. The School, also, became the home of the Science Fiction Theatre of Liverpool [Ken Campbell] which went on to create "The Warp". Comment provided by Larry Sidorczuk [May 2006]

It is clear those individual who burnt a million pounds are sick and selfish individuals, but not as sick and twisted as Jack Mclean of the Glasgow Herald Newspaper. At least they only burnt money, whereas Mclean is personally responsible for the death of a 16-year-old boy. McLean has no moral standing or ethics as journalist or an artist. He is a child murderer who takes great pride in being part of the Glasgow Razor Gang that terrorist innocent members of the public in the 60 and early 70. Everything about him is evil, but then this Country makes celebrities out of child murderers and Mclean is only too happy to make money out of his evil deeds. Margaret Watson.
