This is What the KLF is About: the KLF's Greatest Hits

So it just so happens that I absolutely love the KLF. I know, I'm old, and I listen to twenty-year-old music. But the KLF didn't just make good music, they were also a truly awesome story. I think one day I might devote an entire blog to them, but in the meantime I've sifted through their chaotic (and entirely deleted) discography to produce a two-CD greatest hits disc. This is what it is about:

Since the KLF's entire catalogue is deleted, I have no idea what the legality of posting KLF songs is. I shouldn't say they're entirely deleted, actually: you can get "The White Room" and the "Doctorin' the Tardis" single on iTunes, due to licensing rights Bill and Jimmy sold to Arista and, er, TVT (?) for the US. In any case, I've decided, after deliberation, to make this available. I have no interest in turning this into a 'download blog', but I think this qualifies as extenuating circumstances. So without further ado, here it is down below. 

Note: nah, sorry. I got too paranoid, not so much about Bill and Jimmy suing me (there'd be an irony to that) but about Google banning me from Blogger or Adsense. Sad, I know, but I just panic sometimes. Google Gods - look, it's gone.
