Whitney Joins The Jams - The Jams

[markjohncoxino]

Whitney and the KLF would have gong well as a combination, they both took £1,000,000 and turned it into smoke.

"The Chart Show" video.

A friend filmed them driving to 'The Chart Show' studio in Cauty's repainted Ford Galaxie American police car (Ford Timelord 23).

According to Drummond, "When we got there, we took out the cassette, handed it in at the gate and said 'that's your video'! The next day it was on national TV. It cost us £19.96".

In May 1992, The KLF deleted their entire back catalogue and destroyed all their merchandise to prove their break-up was not a stunt to sell more records.

Tune

'We booked the studio for five days. I went around to the record shop near the studio to get hold of 'Shaft' & in the window was a big cut-out of Whitney Houston. I love that track, and I loved Whitney Houston then, and I just said 'Wow', and bought the album. We just played that track over and over again, and we just thought: "no point us making records when such fantastic records as this have been made". And that's how that track grew into a celebration of Whitney Houston.'

-Bill Drummond

I remember one night in 1988 in Brisbane when 4ZZZ had Just2Def a Friday night hip hop show when I first heard this. I then went to a long gone shop and got the Vinyl. I then heard The Queen and I. Later that year I got All You Need is Love in Sydney on vinyl. These sound dated now and a bit funny, but they brought me to the world of sampling and still stand out as great tracks of an innovative band that maybe we took too seriously.

i want downtown!

[brismike65]

@rhodkemp2 Yeah that's a great track that samples Downtown and some choir singing but it should be easy to get as it was never banned, so I hope someone loads it up here

[studio1one]

yeah off shag times

[simonmullen]

was this off shag times

[Laserton]

Whitney!!!! Please...

[Dazlen1]

Have to disagree guys. I can see why this one was never a hit. Justified & Ancient was a good hit although for me, KLF were at their best with the original of What Time is Love and Last Train to Transcentral...good times!

the business - i bought the one sided vinyl in Edinburgh and loved it........

[PhoenixxxStar]

This was (next to Tammy Wynette's Justified & Ancient involvement) KLF's best work because it was a merging of 3 great pieces. (You must never exclude MI ) I love the opening with KLF pleading for Whitney to join the jams,....please whitney ,...please whitney,...please join the jams! I'm surprised this never went to number 1 or even registered on World Charts. (It should have been released as a A-side single and mass released!!!!!! )

[brismike65]

@PhoenixxxStar I think it was meant to be a send up but even with Bill's screaming, it's still a powerful and exciting track and was the first time I recall hearing sampling of others records into a new track. Amazing.
