Description
This is an auction for a very rare collectors item.
The KLF performed, if that is the word, with Extreme Noise Terror 3 AM Eternal at the Brit awards and then retired from the music business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssn2RtsMYIo
Only 1000 copies of these were sold by mail order from an advert in the NME.
I sent my money on the promise that if I was not lucky enough to get a record they would keep my money and send me an autographed grapefruit. Lucky me.
It is one sided and has never been played and is in A1 condition.
It has the number KLF 5 TOTP but I do not remember it being on Top of The Pops.
It comes in the original inner but blank sleeve and the original cardboard envelope with post marks. I tore off the address label years ago. I had very little sense through the 80s and 90s and have still not got much now.
This makes this record even more sought after as it is as it was posted.
I can not remember the last time one of these came up for sale and therefore will not entertain a buy it now.
It of course will be well packaged.
In 1992, The KLF released a limited edition mail order only single containing a new version of "3 a.m." featuring the grindcore/crust punk band Extreme Noise Terror. The two bands also performed a live version of the song at that year's BRIT Awards ceremony. The Brits performance included by a limping, kilted, cigar-chomping Drummond firing blanks from an automatic weapon over the heads of the crowd. After viewing the rehearsals, the NME writer Danny Kelly said: "Compared to what's preceded it, this is a turbo-powered metallic wolf breaking into a coop full of particularly sick doves... And the noise? Well, the noise is hardcore punk thrash through a disco Techno hit played by crusties. All bases covered, brilliantly. Clever, clever bastards."[3] At the end of the performance, Scott Piering announced to a stunned crowd that "The KLF have now left the music business". Within a few months, they did just that - their records were deleted and The KLF retired from the industry.
