It was not before the internet and mp3 age that I finally found the different KLF tracks that I was looking for more than a decade! , and now I have almost every track released (mp3, not the originals) Fortunately I am not somebody who cares much about collectable originals! My thanks to all people who make an effort to share music online
Nice stories here: I'll add one: I heard this track for the first time in the back of a car, driven to tennis practice by somebody's mum. (either it was on the radio or she was a very cool mom) It must have been somewhat around 1990 when I was 14 years old. I loved it, but had no idea who made this music.
In the following years I would search for it without succes. Than by chance I got the White Room CD from a mate who threw it away. Frustrating, it had the wrong versions!

eldorado you probably just heard the hyper-commercial stuff that came out. like 'america what time is love' and 'stand by the jams' the versions of the songs on 'the white room' are a lot better and the earlier 'pure trance' versions from the late 80's are better still
This song is an important song in the whole evolution of house music. Why? I don't know. I just know it is. I have never heard this version before. Wicked. Thanks for enlightening me.
Well yes it is an important song, it was one of the early UK house tunes written by UK artists. Many here shout about how they did it back in Chicago or NYC, but the truth is that was always a limited scene, Chicago made it, but the UK adopted it, broke the electro/house conventions and made it international, and this tune is typical of that, the beat is adapted from Raze - Break for Love, the b-side uses the exact beat... well it's all circles within circles of course... one word.. Kraftwork.
You're welcome. I once knew a lad that was a big KLF fan and he played 3am eternal only the later version, I told him about this original and he refused to believe this existed!! haha he couldn't believe it, anyway it reminded me of the tune and I just HAD to have it again, not only to prove the was life before 1992 to this lad but for my own mad sanity and cravings, was lucky to get hold of it again, put it on and whoosh! flashbacks :) What a tune, takes you right back.
They did have an album called "The White Room" [As 'The KLF'] (but the 'album' had more variants than I have socks! Not only did it vary (almost) from country to country, there was an original 1989 version, as well as the 1991 version)
Their original album '1987' (as The JAMS (The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu) [their original name]). This had at least 2 versions (the original had illegal samples of Abba's Dancing Queen! They were ordered to destroy all remaining copies!)
I heard of the saga some year ago. They where in Sweden to seek a contract with Abba. But when Abba refused to talk to them the rumor tells that they decided to burn their supply of LP's to be burnt on som unknown place outside of Södertälje. And then that all of the already released supply should be retracted from every record shop throughout the world.
They're pretty much all out there now man, especially the old skool stuff.
I've tried to avoid posting some of the more obvious stuff.
Tell you a good one Acid Fingers - Mix It Up it's UK house from about the same time and if you were about then it might just give you a flashback.. :)
Hey, is there not a bside to jason said to kyle (KLF) that is called "pure trance"? I love that record does anyone have it? It has a whisteling sound on it on over what a string synth.
reminds me of some lads from coventry I hitched a lift with , they had a yellow v-dub
I sat in the back of there wheels and after about 80/90 miles we came to our crash pad , suitably chilled I tried to get out but my feet where stuck, frozen in a pool of ice that had set around my feet and ankles ........dont know why I didnt notice ....maybe 'chillout' had something to do with it
