This album was a great disappointment at the time. Like someone already mentioned earlier, it was made deliberately cheesy for whatever, possibly subversive, reasons. Or maybe they just wanted to do the "final cash-in" which they did in the end by burning the money and deleting the catalogue! The first release of "What Time is Love", Chill Out and the early Orb connection was their best stuff. -
I have this album with no sleeve and what an album it is...,, whoever has the sleeve stole a great sleeve with the wrong record in it so that will teach them hahaha. If anyone knows where i can obtain a sleeve i would be eternally gratefull... -
Why did this one shoot up in value? My Dad gave this to me as a gift 4-5 years ago, he found it for $15 from a shop that religiously uses Discogs for pricing.

Excellent pressing from an album I have since new. Some classics but I never play it through as I find some songs to be utter shite. Just my opinion of course. -

A must have but actually taken from the market by KLF, at the same time they burnt GBP1,000,000 and stopped making music. Not an official release according to Discogs but I my opinion defiantly worth having. The pressing and the quality of audio is absolutely fine. Glad I could find a copy. -
This release also had a sticker on the front cover: "includes 3AM eternal and What time is love?" See images -
Edited 8 years agoGrowing up in Canada I of course got to know the US tracklisting quite well, and didn't even realize until about 10 years later that there were different versions. Although I enjoyed the album tremendously, particularly the first 1/2, I always felt it was lacking something and didn't really 'flow' well. After hearing the UK version with the crowd noise years later it all made sense.
Actually i'm surprised they took it out at all for copyright reasons - I can't imagine anyone being able to identify what album they stole it from if it's just generic cheering...
BTW for fans of Last Train To Trancentral, check out the fantastic remix / re-edit that Joseph Watt of Razormaid did on this Gridlock issue. He took the best parts of the best 4 versions (Iron Horse / UK LP Mix / Live From The Lost Continent / 808 Bass) and spliced them together magnificently. Sounds like it should have been conceived that way from the start!! -
I've never found this an entertaining listen. Where some find diversity I hear only pastiche. Contrary to what has become popular belief, KLF didn't have much influence at all on the underground dance music scene. If you ever did hear White Room at someone's pad after a good night out, it was probably because no one could be bothered to put any tunes on the decks, and in 15 minutes everyone would be sound asleep. Buy yourself Aqua Regia's "Age Of Aqueous" or Bleep's "North Pole By Submarine" if you want to hear some good dance/acid/techno. The White Room is simply an pop album based around the genres of the time. A classic of music it most definitely isn't. KLF will be ed alongside comedy groups like The Barron Knights, which is as it should be.
