Reviews & Discussion
For Sale : I'm pretty sure they were only having a laugh making this. Good for them, but tough on anybody who tries to listen to it. If you really want to test your endurance, tackle the second CD - anyone who can get through two tracks deserves respect. Apart from the nostalgia value, The White Room/Justified and Ancient was a waste of money and remains a continuing waste of shelf space. I put the nostalgia value at about 50p - any takers ?

The US album is pretty much the same as the UK, but with the album version of "Last Train to Trancentral" replaced with the single version, which was a hit in the UK in April 1991, and also released in the US.
The album version of "Justified & Ancient" featured Black Steel singing and playing his bass guitar, instead of the club remix featuring Tammy Wynette that was released later that year, in November.
"America: What Time is Love?", also very different from the album version, featuring ex-Deep Purple vocalist Glenn Hughes, was released in October in the US. It wasn´t released in the UK and Europe until February the next year, as the KLF´s final release.
The album includes the UK hits "What Time is Love? (Live at Trancentral)" (released July 1990) and "3 a.m. Eternal (Live at the S.S.L.)" (released January 1991), both recorded with production team The Children Of The Revolution.
Five singles were taken from or remixed from this album, and the band became the biggest selling UK act in 1991 and got an award at the Brit Awards, accepted by a biker, where they performed "3 a.m. Eternal" with thrash metal group Extreme Noise Terror.
Bill Drummond, like with a plan, like John "Hannibal" Smith, ended the performance shooting at the crowd with a machine gun with blank bullets, and over the PA a voice announced "The KLF Have Now Left The Music Industry".
A dead sheep was found outside the building later that evening with the letters "From The KLF With Love" written on it.
This album was first time announced in 1989 on all the "Pure Trance" 12-inch singles, and on the "Kylie Said to Jason" single,
even with a catalogue number (JAMSLP/MC/CD/DAT 4. Later transferred to "The What Time Is Love Story"). The word is that
"Kylie Said to Jason" flopped, so the then planned album release was withdrawn.
"What Time Is Love?" the original version, an ambient trance version, was released already in October 1988, on 12-inch only, and ambient house versions of "3 a.m. Eternal" and "Last Train to Trancentral" appeared on the album "Chill Out" in 1990.
The UK pressing of the album is now a pretty rare record as the band's UK label KLF Communications
stopped pressing records in the spring of 1992, while the Arista label keep pressing the CD bundled with that "Justified & Ancient" single, last in 2003.
When is the deluxe edition coming out? There was a bunch of remixes, B-side mixes, 12" mixes and single only versions released, mostly on 12-inch only, that could fill up disc 2.
"The White Room" is a collection of songs originally written to the soundtrack of the movie with the same title, actually filmed by Bill Butt, but was never finished. It was rumoured to be screened once in Germany, but never again.
