RIP Whitney - did she ever properly join the JAMMs or was it just samples?

@darrenforster99 The Whitney camp did object at first. But due to the cult following the song was finally allowed to be. The Arista camp did try to get KLF to do a Maxi-single of the song but they refused. They did however secure a deal with Arista that saw the White Room come into production reality.

In 2004, Bill Drummond admitted to the BBC that he regretted burning the money (a million pounds). He also broke the covenant that the KLF would not discuss the burning for 23 years but has since spoken about it twice. The K Foundation officially came to an end in November, 1995. What music catalogue they posessed, they supposedly destroyed, and in the blink of an eye, the Kopyright Liberation Front suddenly was no more.

"To the Bridge, To the Bridge, To the Bridge now....bring the Beat back."

The "Mu Mu!" sample that first appeared on "Burn the Bastards" is also to be found on "What Time Is Love? (Live at Trancentral), "Last Train to Trancentral (Live from the Lost Continent)" and "Fuck the Millennium". "All bound for MuMu Land. Mu Mu. Mu Mu. All bound for MuMu Land."

"For the foreseeable future, there will be no further record releases from any past, present or future name attached to our activities."

Taken fr. KLF Communcations News release...May 1992.

I'd hate for adelgado to come to the shocking realization that in addition to sampling, there is now an artform called Mashups. This would probably give em' a coronary. Put on that ol'e Bing Crosby album.....I'm sure that will cure the "Sampling" stress that almost took it's toll and perhaps pushed em' to the edge. DR PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

@adelgado75 Sampling is not a crime and has been going on for decades. The KLF just perhaps were the ones to make it a craft and a artform that appealed to the masses. Especially since they contributed to the Industrial movement (or Rave as NA's know it). And obviously Whitney doesn't have a problem with it or it would be removed. Arista liked it so much they asked KLF to do a Maxi Disc with Whitney. They said no but did get a commercial deal with Arista for the "White Room".
