This Justified Ancients of Mu Mu / KLF Shag Times double vinyl LP is a rare find for music lovers and collectors alike. Shag Times is a UK compilation and remix double album released in 1989 by The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (The JAMs). The album also introduced Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty's new incarnation – and one which would become considerably more famous – The KLF.

The title of the album relates to the slogan "Shag Shag Shag",a lyric from The JAMs' 1987 debut single "All You Need Is Love" that also appeared as promotional billboard graffiti at the time of the single's release.

The gatefold sleeve of the Shag Times vinyl double LP alludes to a newspaper, whose columns recount The JAMs' actions as reported in the music press, alongside reviews of their musical output.

Released in January 1989 (see 1989 in music), Shag Times includes a selection of The JAMs' singles and album tracks, followed by The Timelords' "Doctorin' the Tardis".

The remainder of the album consists of tracks originally by The JAMs, The Timelords and Disco 2000, remixed by and credited to The KLF.

These KLF remixes were produced in 1988 by Drummond and Cauty, with engineering by Ian Richardson and programming by Nick Coler.

The compilation showcases The JAMs' characteristic sample-driven hip hop and bastard pop, and in equal measure it introduces the minimalistic house sound of The KLF that characterised their subsequent "Pure Trance" releases "What Time Is Love" and "3 a.m. Eternal".[4]

Following Shag Times, The KLF became Drummond and Cauty's main vehicle; the only future release by The JAMs was the industrial techno single "It's Grim Up North".[5]

33 RPM speed, this first pressing from 1989 comes in original gatefold cardboard sleeve with an original cover and catalogue number JAMSDLP3.

Some slight glue not sticking on album cover. The black vinyl, is in excellent (EX) condition, as is the sleeve.

The 12" record is classified as dance and electronica, with a house style and stereo sound.

The release title and label are KLF Communications, and the vinyl is made of high-quality material.
