Wikipedia:WikiProject The KLF/LibraryOfMu/226 The theory that world famous street artist Banksy was in Liverpool last week has gathered strength - after another work in his iconic style was found in the city.It also has the single mix of 'Last Train To Trancentral' instead of the mellower UK album version, edits 'No More Tears' down from 9:24 to 6:42, and adds a little more wind noise at the end of the closing 'Justified And Ancient'. One of the defining features of the “White Room” album is its seamless blending of different musical elements. The KLF effortlessly combine samples, beats, and live instrumentation to create a rich and layered sonic tapestry. This approach, along with their irreverent attitude and willingness to experiment, helped establish The KLF as innovators in the electronic music scene.

Wikipedia:WikiProject The KLF/LibraryOfMu/508 This affirmation in what they were doing continued with the eventual release of The White Room in March 1991. Entering the charts at No.3, it remained in the rundown for almost a year, no doubt bolstered by the further hit singles Last Train To Trancentral (Live at SSL) followed by two songs that were radically remixed for release as singles – Justified & Ancient (Stand By The JAMs), featuring Tammy Wynette and America: What Time Is Love?, both of which were Top 10 hits.

It has a total playing time printed of 45:05, but in reality it's only 43:54. It lists 9 songs, but only has 8 indexed.Now a music fan has come forward with what he believes is more evidence that Banksy was in the city at some point last week. With a music press well used to their headline-grabbing antics and publicity stunts, it was best described by Select magazine. “It’s the last grand gesture, the most heroic act of public self- destruction in the history of pop,” they wrote. “And it’s also Drummond and Cauty’s final howl of disgust, defiance and contempt for a music world gone foul and corrupt.” It was the perfect epitaph.

As had been the case with What Time Is Love?, 3 A.M. Eternal was originally a Pure Trance 12″ single released in 1989, before being reworked as the second instalment of their Stadium House Trilogy in 1991. It is an edit of this version that was included on The White Room. Meanwhile, the KLF's single " What Time Is Love?", which had originally been released in 1988 and largely ignored by the public, was generating acclaim within the underground clubs of continental Europe; according to KLF Communications, "The KLF were being feted by all the 'right' DJs".

The single was their first hit under the KLF moniker and reached No.5 in the UK in July 1990.
