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.

A supermodel of a tale.
This was definitely needed: a tying up of all these threads through their culmination and combination in the guise of the KLF. Wonderfully researched, written and read. Thank you Mr. Higgs.

Fabulous book.
A fascinating story which is elegantly written and humorous. I’m a big fan of John Higgs. One day I’d like to have a chat with him and enjoy a cup of tea and a packet of crisps.

Fantastic!
This book is definitely thoughtful and as much about philosophy and some history as the KLF in my opinion. Thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile listening!

Waste of time. Absolute drivel
Wanted to know more about the group but learned more about magic, discordianism and stupid pop psychology. Could not finish it
