THROBBING GRISTLE - DISCOGRAPHY (121 VIDEOS)

Throbbing Gristle

Profile:

Industrial group. Growing out of the extreme performance art group COUM Transmissions.

Their first performances were in 1976 and their last gig was in San Francisco in 1981 (recorded and released as "Mission Of Dead Souls"),

Throbbing Gristle officially began at September 3, 1975 and they officially split on June 23, 1981. After they split, Genesis and Peter formed Psychic TV (and Peter later joiningCoil) and Chris and Cosey becoming, well, Chris & Cosey. They came back together 23 years later in 2004 to plan an ill-fated weekend festival, which became a one-off recording session in London when the festival fell through, releasing a limited TGNOW album of the recordings.

A series of new releases and remasters followed as well as live performances. In 2010, Genesis withdrew from touring with TG and the three other members renamed themselvesX-TG. However, Peter's death in November that year brought an end to TG/XTG for good. One final release, released under the name X-TG, followed in 2012.

A note on bootlegs: Throbbing Gristle was an organisation and all releases had to be approved by the organisation, not individual members. Most official releases were released by Industrial Records, Fetish Records and Mute (some exceptions exist).More

Any word on the next lot of reissues? It's well past the late Jan release date.

...yeah, it's surprising the Celluloid bootlegs of 2nd Annual Report & DoA are not banned from sale - they were responsible for Gen going off his nut in a Virgin Megastore & destroying the lot, back in the 70s! These were blatant rip-offs of official LPs made purely for profit by a major company whereas The Kill was (I believe) done by a fan, in a very limited edition, as a tribute.

I see some unofficial TG releases are banned here while others can be traded. I wonder how discogs determined this. I can understand banning newer bootlegs from the past few years but bootlegs that are decades old are musical artifacts especially for a band like TG. Something like The Kill live at Scala is a 30 year old bootleg that they made like 300 copies of. I really doubt that TG members object.

Just to chime in from a new fans perspective: I've only recently discovered their music as I have been listening to this band for the past couple of years and really enjoy their output. I am also a very dedicated record collector and the chance to purchase new pristine copies of their records is something very important to me. So the fact that they reissue these albums is a grand opportunity for someone like me. I really think these reissues and reissues in general are more of an attempt by bands to reach new audiences and I think they recognize that the collectors are a big part of that audience.

I hate to say it but I totally agree with ohwey's comments below. There now seems to be endless re-releases of the same material with different lure's like booklets, inserts, heavy vinyl, coloured vinyl, remastering, double CDs & LPs, repackaging etc. At the end of the day, it's their material & they can do what they want with it, but it doesn't sit well with me (fan since 15, now 51). If they are into re-releasing, how about their more unobtainable stuff like the live gigs (true TG in my opinion) - nothing fancy, just a CD in a slipcase (just like in the box sets) for a fiver. Then you can pick & choose which ones you want, like you could with the IRC tapes. In the pipeline or wishful thinking? Time will tell...

Discovered TG aged 15 in early 80's after seeing the cover of 5 Knuckle Shuffle in Virgin. Asked the man to put it on in a booth & was firstly stunned, then hooked. Love the earlier stuff more - especially the ICA gig, but favourite tracks to listen to are Discipline (live Berlin) & See You Are (live Manchester). Managed to get all IRC tapes at one stage but sold them so I could buy TG24 & TG+.....biggest mistake of my life. I found the CDs too clean and missed the atmosphere I got from listening to the tapes on a basic player. I managed to get a few back since but not so easy (or cheap) nowadays. Love the band & love the individuals.

just a fun note ........ if you lived in South London during 1977 to 1982 and saw everywhere you went red and black stickers with the lightning strike through stuck to lamp posts, bus stop's, shop windows, pretty much anywhere myself and good friend could reach ...... then i'm the guilty party .....

Note for nerds. The 2011 reissues use the original mixes as heard on the Industrial releases. The Mute CD's released in 1990 contain remixes, which mainly consists of extra reverb on studio tracks.
