A quick post to say there's a documentary on BBC4 at 10.50pm tonight on "New Merseybeat" (6th June 2008) featuring a small extract about the KLF and Bill Drummond's first band, the infamous Big in Japan, as well as an indepth history of the whole 1980s Liverpool scene. Here's the first of three screen grabs:

My two KLF-related excerpts can be found here on Youtube:

(My thanks to Marco for keeping my uploads alive when Youtube shut my account, btw!)

Anyway (whew!) here's the whole Rock Family Trees episode in five parts (if you find there's less than five, I'm still in the process of uploading them). It taken from a 2006 VH1 repeat of the original 1996 programme. Sorry, by the way, these files are uploaded to rapidshare.com in error (I usually use mediafire!):

And as an added bonus, a radio documentary was broadcast on Radio 2 last Saturday (31st May 2008), also about Eric's Nightclub and the Liverpool Scene, presented by Steven Lamacq. It can be downloaded here:
