History?  Mystery?  Prophecy? Lunacy!   This beauty is a near-mint, 'never played' ORIGINAL PRESSING of the super-rare '1987', of which all of the rest of the remaining original edition, unsold copies were supposedly destroyed by the JAMs in 1987, due to legal complications. Evidently, this record is "stupendously rare!"   This original pressing of 1987 is in top-notch condition. The vinyl is is near-mint/mint condition. The jacket is in very good+/nm condition, with a slight ding in the lower left corner of the cover. (SEE THE PICS BELOW THE DESCRIPTION)   Also, for your reading pleasure, I'm including five (5) ORIGINAL articles about the KLF/'1987', clipped from various music papers, circa 1987, including articles from Sounds, June 20 1987, Melody Maker, July 4 1987, Sounds, September 19 1987.

IT'S A LIVING, BREATHING MONSTROSITY!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4020991238 KOMPLETE YOUR KLF KOLLECTION!   "In 1987, the JAMS, also known as the KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front), released an album titled '1987, What the Fnck is Going On?' The album heavily sampled the single 'Dancing Queen' from the Swedish super-group ABBA. KLF did not clear the samples, and consequently Abba filed a complaint alleging that the samples constituted a copyright infringement.   In response to the complaint, in August of 1987, the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society ordered the JAMS to destroy all remaining copies of their '1987' LP.
KLF then decided to engage in a number of rash actions under the theory that if the case ever went to court,
it would be to their benefit to have appeared to have done everything to communicate their side of the story.   Consequently, they made a pilgrimage to ABBA headquarters in Sweden in a failed attempted to meet the super-group and persuade them to allow them to release the LP.   ABBA refused to meet with KLF. In lieu of meeting with the Swedish super-group, the KLF presented a Swedish prostitute with a gold disc. On their return to from Sweden, they found a bucolic farm nestled among Nordic forests, whereupon they proceeded to burn most of the remaining copies of '1987'. The plume of smoke filled the valley, attracting the attention of an armed farmer. The event was captured for the cover of their second album." http://www.benedict.com/Audio/klf/klf.aspx robert anton wilson illuminatus trilogy inspiration george dorn persperation 23 twenty-three twentythree twenty three fnord? fjord! side 1 Hey Hey We Are Not The Monkees Don't Take Five (Take What You Want) Rockman Rock Parts 2 And 3 side 2 Me Ru Con The Queen And I All You Need Is Love Next the space between abba legal dabba doo doo Record jacket = "1987 The Sound of Mu(sic) JAMS LP 1" Record label = "ALL SOUNDS ON THIS RECORDING HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY THE KLF"   :NOTE: PLEASE SEE THE PICS OF THE LABEL AND THE JACKET BELOW THIS DESCRIPTION THIS '1987' IS AN ORIGINAL PRESSING!

Here's a bit more infomation about how to tell the difference between the ORIGINAL and the BOOTLEG 1987, courtesty of 'dgmdgm':   "The biggest difference is in the curved text on the lower part of the label (the "non-copyright" declaration and the concentric text that reads "T     H     E     S     O     U     N     D     O     F     M     U    sic". On the original both texts start and finish at the JAMS logo, i.e., from about 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock. On the bootleg the text only goes from about 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock and the text "sic" that should be at the 2 o'clock position is missing altogether. The bootleggers have really wrecked the symmetry of the original label design in my opinion!"   "Other differences on the bootleg: -- JAMS logo too narrow (it should reach nearly to the edge of the label on each side). -- Typo (spurious "9" added): "ALL SOUNDS O9N THIS RECORDING..." --  "331/3 RPM" instead of "33⅓ RPM""   The 'ORIGINAL PRESSING' '1987' is an authentic 1987 pressing, manufactured by The KLF in 1987 A.D. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4020991247   The 'UNAUTHORIZED' version was bootlegged in 2000, evidently. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4020991238   The music is identical on both '1987' records: no animals were harmed during the making of this record. Amen.
