I think it's a fan-made mix (until proved otherwise).. Have a look at his Soundcloud page - he's done loads of his own PSB mixes.

The claim is certainly that it’s been uncovered - it’s getting traction on the KLF pages.

With all the KLF completists, nerds and trainspotters out there, it's strange that it's only coming to light now.

If it is genuine it makes you wonder what else is lurking on the KLF DATs..

Whatever it is it’s awful.
Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning. :|
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth.

I think it's just a fan remix. I didn't listen to it, but Paul Manning does re-creations of PSB songs basically attempting to replicate their original sounds using the same original sample packs and instruments. The song description appears to be tongue in cheek, another Paul Manning fan remix where he's made it (probably) sound similar to the real final product.
Again, this guy makes PSB songs that sound like PSB made them. I don't think this is real.

I doubt it though. The history of Paul's uploads which are PSB remixes that could almost pass as official. I mean when tracks leak there's normally an original source before you get a stylised upload like this. He says "remaster and loving de-MuMufication" which infers it's modified and not original. No one uses the term mummified when referring to music so I think he's trying to pretend it's real. Similar to his remix that pretended to be from the 80s, https://soundcloud.com/paulnmanning/pet ... ve-it-a-go
It's like roleplay. That's why I think the language is all odd spellings etc.

Everything in KLF lore is so obtuse that it might be legit or it might not… The whole point was they were chancers/geniuses taking the piss. This is rubbish, whoever did it.

Doesn't tie in wirh the story we've been given about Bill Drummond strumming his guitar and Neil having to re-sing the vocal

Fake imo

Some of the vocals are re-done if I remember rightly - I haven't listened to the KLF version for a while.

Aside from the Dub (6" Widescreen), it'd also be nice to hear these versions: Uncut Master, VS. No Intro, Dance Mix and Dub 1db Up. I don't think any of them have been released. We've already passed any anniversary marking the release of Behaviour. Last year would have been the 35th.
