THROBBING GRISTLE 24-CD BOXED SET

[from https://www.chrisandcosey.com]

The 23rd of December 2002 will see the release of a special edition Throbbing Gristle 24-hour CD boxed set.
This official limited edition release will be the first on the soon to be resurrected Industrial Records label and has been made entirely
possible with help, support and encouragement of Mute Records.
This major release is an updated edition of the original Throbbing Gristle boxed set of 24 live performance cassettes available from
Industrial Records in late'70's and early '80's.
The (much bootlegged) cassette release has been completely updated and will contain 24 CD versions digitally remastered from the
original Throbbing Gristle master tapes. The complete package will be presented in a custom designed box containing 24 individually
sleeved 60 minute live CDs, plus various inserts, collages, booklets and TG related items.
The Throbbing Gristle 24-hour CD boxed set is being compiled and produced with the complete co-operation of all the members of
Throbbing Gristle and is the first new official release by TG and Industrial Records in many years.
A new dedicated Industrial Records web site is currently in production, where will it be possible to order the TG 24-hour CD boxed
set and other TG related items on-line. As soon as further details are available they will be posted here.
Also due for release in 2003 will be the first official Industrial Records Throbbing Gristle DVD.

I'll be saving me rubles for that! Also, according to https://www.genesisp-orridge.com/html/news/index.html there is a book due halloween '2 called
PAINFUL BUT FABULOUS - the lives and arts of Genesis P-Orridge. Hmm..

ps: Dave L my parents bought a used copy online of Wreckers of Civilization for my birthday! My mom said "I have no idea what I bought.. I'm not going to be on some weird email list now am I?!"

too much tg for me. and why did they only make the cd's 60 minutes each? i don't now. i guess i'm revealing myself as a philistine or something, but i don't think i want a 24cd box of tg even if it were pretty cheap. i have 20 jazz funk greats; doa, the third and final report, and a chris and cosey record and a pyschictv record. and a couple of 45s. but i think that's enough now. i don't listen to any of it all that much, tho the chris and cosey record goes thru my head a lot.

60 minute CDs = 60 minute cassettes maybe? Just for continuity?

Phil: Don't you think it's only fair that you by a copy of the book for your parents to read?

Maybe we could all go to Phil's house, call his parents, and take turns reading book excerpts to them?.... Drunk off our asses at two in the morning?....

As to the cd = cassette, yeah thats exactly it. when TG were still a band, they released the legendary "briefcase" that had 24 live cassettes, every live gig they ever did. This is just a cd redux of that. 24 hours of Throbbing Gristle. That strikes me as really funny.

funny 'ha ha' or funny 'this mole looks weird'?

Posted by: dick at July 9, 2002 09:13 AM

That's the SAME funny, silly!

Posted by: lang at July 9, 2002 09:22 AM

"funny silly" sounds like a kind of pasta.

The band used to use digital clocks on-stage and play for 60 minutes exactly every show. I can't remember the exact quote but it's something like "We only get paid to do 60 minutes so we only play for 60 minutes".
