Comments on: The Core: “The KLF: Genius or Gibberish?” http://stilgherrian.com/personal/the_core_the_klf/ All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris.

My money says they’ll do it." For what it's worth, Wikipedia said it reached #57 in the US. Strangely enough, it did better than the original <em>What Time Is Love</em> in the UK (#4, as opposed to #6). I always thought it was a rather pointless remix (in terms of artistic merit) but the video was rather grand. “Now. with record company execs telling them The KLF will never succeed in the US, they’ve released America: What Time is Love? with just one purpose — to get to number one in the US before Christmas.

I couldn't immediately find that in the issues within my realm. Maybe it came later. I'll look out for it as I'm browsing. @Royal: Hmmm… I couldn’t immediately find that in the issues within my realm. Maybe it came later. I’ll look out for it as I’m browsing.

I don't think I have mine anymore - unless there in storage somewhere in Adelaide - highly unlikely. Anyway, a little selfish, but there was an issue in 1993 that had a profile on myself with a great photo which I'd love to find. Nostalgia indeed! :) Excellent.

Yes, there's about <a href="http://anthems.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=1637">29 issues attached to this forum post</a> as PDF files. I think I'll put the rest online soon -- and dig out the feature articles as text so search engines find them more easily. I have an almost-complete set in hard copy, issues 1 through 91 of <em>The Core</em>. The only ones missing are 60 and 74. And a couple around the issue 52 mark (first birthday!) are damaged -- eaten by cats. <em>The Core</em> ran from 23 October 1991 to 28 July 1993. My involvement ended a few weeks before that -- the last issue with my name in it is dated 23 June. Lots of 23s in there! All hail Eris! After Acb Tyson imploded there were two interim publications called <em>No Core</em> and <em>Pre Core</em> to cover the fortnight before Matt Pearce and his crew got <em>Core Magazine</em> going -- a larger format on glossy paper, and mostly in colour. I've got a few of them too -- thought obviously they're not mine to put online. Ah, nostalgia...! @Royal: Thanks for the pointer!
