Talk:The White Room (KLF album)

Origin of name

read the invisibles to find out where the name the white room came from —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.67.108.142 (talk • contribs) 9 July 2005.

We'd need a reliable source. It could be named after the chill out room at the Heaven club (Land of Oz) but... we don't know. This link will likely be more instructive. --kingboyk (talk) 06:51, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Improvements

The soundtrack and the aborted album are not quite the same I beleive, so in essence there's actually three versions of The White Room. We don't need to expand on it (a bit crufty really) but just tighten the language to make it clear. (Can get more coverage in the article about the movie perhaps).

The article needs the same sort of reworking we've given others - more sections, commentary on the context, and some quotes from other reviews. --kingboyk 01:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

This article is quite sad isn't it. Must make it a priority to get this one up to par - it's their most famous album, after all. --kingboyk 12:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

OK, there's definitely three audio versions of "The White Room", so we need to give a bit of coverage to the 2 "other" versions and the film here, but hopefully with a seperate and fuller article about the film.

• The 1989 album
• The 1991 album
• A soundtrack cobbled together by The KLF after plans to play the soundtrack live were scrapped. KLF Discog (Filmography section) claims the soundtrack was "pasted together for this occasion consisting of tracks from the original white room album, "Madrugada Eterna", and tracks from the later released White Room album." We'll have to check when the film was screened (e.g. by NME) and if that was with soundtrack (presumably it was), and how those dates compare with the 91 album release (NME screening came later I'm pretty sure; I remember seeing the preview).
  Note also that Madrugada Eterna was first released in 1989 on the Kylie Said... CD! I'll try and work that info into Chill Out. --kingboyk 15:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

White room version

I have an MP3 version of the album, which I ripped from a CD that subsequently got trashed. Its track lengths differ from those published in the article for the 1991 article. Which version of the album is it? --Tagishsimon (talk)

1. What Time Is Love (LP Mix) 5:17
2. Make it Rain 3:36
3. 3 A. M. Eternal (Live at the S. S. L.) 3:35
4. Church of the KLF 1:53
5. Last train to transcentral (Live From The Lost Continent) 3:41
6. Build a fire 4:35
7. The White Room 5:15
8. No more tears 6:41
9. Justified and Ancient 5:02

The times above are those for the US CD.--Lazlo Nibble (talk) 19:03, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

== 1991 North American release --

There is no version in the US with 10 tracks on the disc. The original disc had 9 tracks and it was later reissued with Justified & Ancient Maxi Single included and the single was a separate single. The disc was reissued again with all tracks onto one which would make 9 tracks + the 5 tracks from the maxi single, but there was never a disc with 10 tracks.
