1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?) is the debut album of The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu. 1987 was produced using extensive unauthorised samples which plagiarised a wide range of musical works, continuing a theme begun in The JAMs' debut single "All You Need Is Love" (included on the album). These samples provided a deliberately provocative backdrop for beatbox rhythms and cryptic, political raps.

dbpprop:abstract
  • 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?) is the debut album of The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu. 1987 was produced using extensive unauthorised samples which plagiarised a wide range of musical works, continuing a theme begun in The JAMs' debut single "All You Need Is Love" (included on the album). These samples provided a deliberately provocative backdrop for beatbox rhythms and cryptic, political raps. Shortly after independent release in June 1987, The JAMs were ordered by the Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society to destroy all unsold copies of the album, following a complaint from ABBA. In response, The JAMs disposed of many copies of 1987 in unorthodox, publicised ways. They also released a version of the album titled "1987 (The JAMs 45 Edits)", stripped of all unauthorised samples to leave periods of protracted silence and so little audible content that it was formally classed as a 12-inch single. A limited edition release subjected to recall and a destruction order, 1987 became something of a rarity and by 2000 mint condition copies were trading for £60.
  • Az 1987 (What The Fuck Is Going' On?) a The KLF (akkori nevén Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, röviden The JAMs) debütáló albuma. Arról vált híressé, hogy számaiban a rap-betéteket engedély nélkül felhasznált sample-ökkel keverték össze, melyek jellemzően egy-egy sikeres slágerből származnak. Miután az ABBA panaszt tett ellenük, a brit MCPA (szerzői jogi érdekvédő szervezet) utasította őket, hogy az összes, még forgalomba nem került példányt semmisítsék meg. Utóbb, tiltakozásként, megjelentették a jogvédett tartalomtól megfosztott változatát is az albumnak (ez volt a The JAMs 45 Edits), mely azonban már egyetlen bakelitlemezen is bőven elfért. Az elpusztítást alig egy pár lemez élte túl világszerte, ma igazi ritkaságnak számítanak.

dbpprop:description
  • A remade version of The JAMs' first white label single with a number of illegal samples removed. King Boy D's distinctive "Clydeside" rapping style can be heard in this extract.
  • Chike sings over a beatbox rhythm and a sample from Dave Brubeck's "Take Five".
  • The most controversial song on the album, "The Queen and I" sampled from ABBA's "Dancing Queen". A legal dispute with the group led to the album's withdrawal.
