Go for it.

1. almost all KLF singles, the exception being 'Kylie Said to Jason', which is sucky, and maybe that one with Tammy Wynnette which doesn't really have a kicking beat. Apart from those, you really want all the singles. Every possible remix of every possible song. Then put every remix of a song one after another on a tape, so it's like 'What Time Is Love?' (or whatever) goes on forever.
2. all the Timelords stuff. All of it. Again, it's many remixes of one song. the ones with Gary Glitter are especially brilliant.
3. "Chill Out". Well nice to er chill out to.
4. Justified Ancients of Mu Mu's 'It's Grim Up North', if only for its laughable claim that Chester is in the north of England.
5. There are some JAMs compilation albums that are fun too.
6. Bill Drummond's "45" book is fun, although Drummond's complete bonkersness gets a bit wearing after a bit.
7. Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction's 'prime mover', and the idea of Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction.
8. Other stuff I can't remember.
9. Oh yeah, 2K's 'Fuck the millennium' All the KLF singles rolled into one.
10. the "Bad Wisdom" book. Well, I am a dirty vicar.
11. Don Lucknowe
Destroy:
1. 'Kylie said to Jason'. It's sucky.
2. "The White Room". It doesn't have a proper mix of 'Last train to trancentral' on it, and the mix of 'What time is love?' has that long drawn out intro which makes it impossible to DJ with or put on mix tapes.
3. the whole extent to which Jimmy and Bill have become famous as pranksters and stuff like that rather than as people who made top music.

Oh, and Chester is in the north of England. Admittedly, you wouldn't think so from watching Hollyoaks, but it is north of the midlands which is good enough for me.

Chester - Watford - Brighton - Rye was how we used to amusingly change the words of the song to annoy our Chestrian friends.

I actually find Cauty the more fascinating of the two, but that's maybe because he is the more silent, and does not periodicially issue screeds to the media.

I dunno, I've been friends with a couple of people who had periods of borderline insanity and Bill comes accross as perfectly normal in comparison.

Bill Drummond was in Big in Japan, a raucous little combo led by the wonderfully precocious Jayne Casey. Their few recordings stand up next to fellow Liverpudlians Teardrops and Echo.
Bill Drummond: The Man had its moments - "Julian Cope is Dead" being the rare novelty song that's actually funny.
