About this listen
The strange tale of the death, life and legacy of the hugely successful band.
They were the best-selling singles band in the world. They had awards, credibility, commercial success and creative freedom. Then they deleted their records, erased themselves from musical history and burnt their last million pounds in a boathouse on the Isle of Jura. And they couldn't say why.
This is not just the story of The KLF. It is a book about Carl Jung, Alan Moore, Robert Anton Wilson, Ken Campbell, Dada, Situationism, Discordianism, magic, chaos, punk, rave, the alchemical symbolism of Doctor Who and the special power of the number 23.
Wildly unauthorised and unlike any other music biography, The KLF is a trawl through chaos on the trail of a beautiful, accidental mythology.
Read by John Higgs.

This was intended to be a bit of light relief - but it proved to be a deep and intellectual journey but utterly without pretension. And every so often, so funny.
A brilliant full five stars book that I will keep returning to.
unexpectedly intellectual and bizarre
