Yeah we received compilations in Canada twice a month from all of the major labels, with new radio edits for all formats. They started in mid 1988, and they were still being sent out (although more scarcely) in 2003. I don't believe they are issued any more.

We received them from WEA (Later Warner), A&M, CBS (later Sony), and BMG.

I don't ever recall seeing BMG compilations either, maybe it was a Canadian thing? Then again in 1991 I worked at a gold-intensive AC that (1) what few currents we played we just traded out for and (2) wouldn't have played the KLF anyway.]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:36:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=23541&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#23541 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=23539&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#23539 Author: aaronk

Our station did not receive any BMG compilations, but during that era I worked for a very small market mom-and-pop station with mediorcre service. Perhaps larger market stations received them.]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 06:51:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=23539&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#23539 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=23536&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#23536 Author: Jody Thornton

When I was at AM96 in 1991, we never had the KLF CD single in the control room. Instead we played it off the monthly BMG compilation promo CD - did you get those in the US? But it did have the "Freedom" edit. I dubbed it on to a cassette and still have it to this day...lol.

Very nicely detailed info here, gang! Pat, I'm wondering if it might be helpful to have the database clarify that the "Live at the S.S.L." version is also the album version.]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 00:19:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=23424&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#23424 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=23389&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#23389 Author: jimct

Just thought I'd add that, should anybody be trying to track down the promo CD single that my friend Aaron has just accurately detailed above, the Arista inventory # for it is ASCD-2230.]]> Sun, 23 Aug 2009 10:17:13 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=23389&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#23389 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=23353&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#23353 Author: edtop40

Since the database does not include information about the promo CD, here are the details of mine:

1. Radio Freedom Edit (3:13 listed and actual)
2. Live At The S.S.L. (3:36 listed and actual)
3. Live At The S.S.L. (Extended) (5:50 listed; 5:49 actual)
4. Rankin' Club Version (4:34 listed; 4:33 actual)

Track 2 is the same as the LP version (and presumably 45 version since no database notation is present for most entries). The "Radio Freedom Edit" cuts the talking and sound effects and fades before the "ladies and gentlemen" at the end.]]> Fri, 21 Aug 2009 22:53:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=23351&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#23351 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=7478&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#7478 Author: chendagam

The "Radio Freedom Edit" does appear on an Arista promo CD. They should be easy to find...at least they were about 10 years ago. Not sure on the other one.]]> Sat, 07 Oct 2006 10:54:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=7478&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#7478 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=7465&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#7465 Author: aaronk

I have come across a couple of edits for KLF's "3 A.M. Eternal." One of them I'm sure appeared on a promo CD, which I have yet to come across. The other one is a mystery to me.

The first version, called the "Radio Freedom Edit," appeared on a TM Century HitDisc when the song was first released. Essentially, it cuts the talking and sound effects from the beginning and starts cold with "KLF! Uh-huh (x3)." If my memory is correct, this version also fades out quickly at the end before the "Ladies and gentlemen" spoken part.

The other edit appears on an Entertainment Weekly compilation (manufactured by Arista) called Hot Dance Mix. The version cuts the spoken part and sound effects from the intro and starts cold like the "Radio Freedom Edit." HOWEVER, there is a strange edit at the beginning, which doesn't even keep the rhythm of the song. It cuts about four seconds, right after "KLF! Uh-huh (x3)." After that part is sung, it cuts the beeping noises out and skips right to the line "KLF is gonna rock ya!" Also, the ending line and crowd sound effects are in tact on this version, as opposed to faded like on the "Radio Freedom Edit."

Could this perhaps be another edit from the promo single, or is it some strange butchered edit that Arista accidentally included on this compilation?]]> Fri, 06 Oct 2006 14:53:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1418&PID=7465&title=the-klf-3-a-m-eternal#7465
