OH MR DRUMMOND, Why art thou so fragmented? As has been said in another place, there is the making of a great autobiograhy here - a life story that could also be the definitive document on the Liverpool music scene circa Teardrops and Echo & the Bunnymen. But at least we get a fragment, a sense of how great that book could be.

Bill Drummond is The Man who managed said Teardrops and Bunnymen, was half of the KLF and was bemused to find that no-one really wanted to watch his K-Foundation burn a million quid. On the way he killed Julian Cope in song.

45 is a seemingly random collection of fragments from The Man's notebook, infuriatingly mixing fact and fiction. He takes in the Crystal Day, the KLF's collaboration with Tammy Wynette and has some intriguing things to say about Scottish nationalism. And I'm still only half way through.

45 is published by Little, Brown in association with Penkiln Burn, presumably Drummond's own outfit. A bit odd this Penkiln Burn stuff - very un-KLF, styled and typeset in a very neat, bookish way. The pb logo looks like that of any small press.

The best web resource on Bill, the KLF and all appears to be Mancentral - there you will find, amongst other things, the long-lost 1987 (What The F*** Is Going On?) album in MP3 format, and the text of the Penkiln Burn pamphlet Brutality, Religion and a Dance Beat. This site, and indeed Mr Drummond's 45, are highly recommended.
