And highly debatable if the KLF are really involved. The "aka KLF" has been added by the distributor and is not on the record or packaging. The consensus on the KLF list (klf@xmission.com) is that bill & jim are not involved; for a number of reasons - for a start it's nothing like as good as anything they've done before, not even their tackiest, most piss-taking stuff, and secondly there's no naughty hints or subtle references other than the "Unjustified ancients of M U" tag - but notice the subtle differences - M U = Manchester United! One day the true truth may be told... J ^
