I picked up the cd single... 4 tracks, as follow:

   1. ***k the Millenium                                 13:59
   2. Acid Brass/What Time Is Love [Version K]            4:31
   3. ***k the Millenium           [Radio Edit]           4:18
   4. ***k the Millenium           [Censored Radio Edit]  4:18

Yeah, the first track is a nice medley of KLF stuff, including plenty of
versions of the WTIL melody, and some older/rarer samples.

The second track just about knocked me off my chair... It's just too funny
listening to that brass band belt out the tune I've had drilled into my
head so many times. An absolute classic remake.

The Radio edit is just the first track cut down to a reasonable time.

The Censored Radio Edit is a bit funny as well, as I didn't catch quite a few
of the "colorful metaphors", but did catch the louder-than-normal censoring
***BLEEP*** that highlights each one.

Well worth my money, this one is.


Also worth mention for this particular trip to HMV was finding an Underworld
Dark & Long single, with 6 tracks... Includes Thing In A book, Spoon Deep,
Dark Hard, Dark Train, and Burts.

Now I just need to find the supposed 70-minute version, and my life shall
be complete.
