Last weeks Friday Music Club tune had a sampled Van Halen riff, so this week I thought push out the sampling boat. In 1987 the Justified Ancients of MuMu put out this riot of samples, rap & beats.
They followed this up with the album '1987 - What the Fuck is going on?'. Unfortunately they didn't get permission from any of the artists that they used - and they used a lot. Eventually lawyers representing ABBA forced the destruction of all unsold albums, so the JAMS hired a van and drove over to Sweden in the hope that ABBA would get involved in destroying the albums. ABBA unsurprisingly refused to be involved, so the JAMS hired a couple of prostitutes that looked a bit like the ABBA girls and drove out to the countryside around Stockholm to light a vinyl funeral pyre. They were chased off the field that they used by a farmer waving a shotgun.
Somehow I can't see One Direction doing that.
Incidentally when the JAMS grew up they first put out 'Doctorin' the Tardis' as 'the Timelords' before forming the KLF...
