The pair deleted their entire back catalogue in 1992 and it has been officially unavailable until now.
The KLF famously ‘exited’ the music industry that year following a performance at the Brit Awards where they teamed up with grindcore act Extreme Noise Terror for a performance of 3AM Eternal.
During the performance, they fired blanks from machine guns towards the audience – before an announcement of “The KLF have left the music business” as they walked off stage.
