franz -
there was a very limited amount of the "original" 1987
it had samples from ABBA who then threatened to
sue..(it sampled whitney houston (whitney joins the jamms)
and lots of others.... i happen to be one of the lucky
5,000 or however many got sold before KLF had to agree to
have them withdrawn. They then re-released 1987 without any of
the samples. if i remember they did some hilarious insert
about the whole scenario either on a piece of paper or the
inner vinyl sleeve.
i bought the re-release, too
big difference, there. If you play through the whole album
and hear major sample chunks of ABBA you are indeed very lucky.
I can double check both of them if you eme off list & when
I'm home tomorrow...
ps i know about this cuz i interviewed bill drummond in 1987
for a little west coast dj mag i wrote for @ the time...

Hi there
Does anybody know if the KLF album "1987 (what the
fuck is going on)" by any chance has been re:issued?
It sounds strange if so, but I found a near mint copy
very cheap last weekend.
So am I a lucky guy or did I just buy a not-so-good
album for no real good reason?
thanks in advance,
franz
