Anybody remember Brilliant? It was a one-off project for Youth (<B>Killing Joke</B>) and Jimmy Cauty (<B>KLF</B>). I've never HEARD this band - just heard OF them. Does anyone know if this LP was ever released on CD - and better yet - anyone out there have a copy? On paper this sounds like it could be great (produced by Stock Aitken Waterman - could be good, could be awful)...

Would love any info you might have.

Thanks!

I have the 12" of their cover of "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" (orig. by James brown) but that's it. It's a white-label promo. It is indeed produced by SAW, and it is a very reggae-tinged song.
