Artist:	THROBBING GRISTLE
Title:	Greatest Hits
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	MUTE 1001CD

1997 reissue of the group's defining compilation, featuring "United", "Subhuman", "Hamburger Lady", etc. Dedicated to Martin Denny, liner notes by the late Claude Bessey! "Turning the idea of rock music on its head and injecting it with a lethal dose of electronica, Gristle was light years ahead of its time and suffered endless persecution from the British government because of their wild ideas. On this ironically titled collection, the band offers 11 tracks that plant the seeds for a number of genres. Standing heads and tails above the rest of their contemporaries, this is the best place to first discover Throbbing Gristle's difficult but rewarding body of work."

Title:	D.O.A.
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	MUTE 1094CD

1998 CD reissue of the 2nd TG album, originally issued in 1978; digitally remastered by Chris Carter. Adds 2 bonus tracks from the legendary Sordide Sentimental 7" ("We Hate You (Little Girls)" & "Five Knuckle Shuffle". "Breaking from the live sound of the previous Second Annual Report, D.O.A. finds the group assembling collages of computer noise, cassette tapes on fast forward, looped feedback and tape hiss, surreptitiously recorded conversation, threatening phone calls, and much more, all to a grand alienating effect, the sound of a gray day in a British tower block after all the drugs have run out."

Title:	20 Jazz Funk Greats
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	MUTE 1095CD

1`997 reissue of this classic 1979 album. "It's a break in the clouds from Throbbing Gristle's pummeling noise and a first glimpse at the continuing pop influence on the TG/PTV axis, but 20 Jazz Funk Greats still isn't best described by its title. If there is such a thing as a funky Throbbing Gristle LP, however, this could well be it. 'Hot on the Heels of Love', 'Hamburger Lady' and 'Six Six Sixties' add only occasional bits of distortion between the rigid sequencer lines. 20 Jazz Funk Greats is the best compromise between TG's early industrial aesthetic and the reams of industrial-dance and dark synth-pop groups that used the album as a stepping stone to crossover appeal."

Title:	Mutant TG
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	MUTE 3083CD

"Almost thirty years on since their inception from the ashes of performance art troupe/media guerrilla cell Coum Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle's challenging, expressive and self-empowering manifesto's and music are as relevant today as they were back in the bleak mid 70s. This, the first ever collection of Throbbing Gristle remixes Mutant TG highlights just how significant they still are. From a world of free parties, performance art and punk attitude Hedonastik turn 'What A Day' into a psychotic dub fuelled mantra and Carl Craig shows his more experimental side via 'Still Walking' with a mix that reverbs and coil's around itself like a trapped snake. Finally, two of TG's original line-up -- Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti make mincemeat of Hamburger Lady and turn two tracks into one with HotHeelsUnited."

Title:	The Taste of TG: A Beginners Guide to Throbbing Gristle
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	MUTE 9242CD

"Almost 30 years on since their inception from the ashes of performance art troupe/media guerrilla cell Coum Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle's challenging, expressive and self-empowering manifestos and music are as relevant today as they were back in the bleak mid-70s. The Taste of TG... contains 14 of Throbbing Gristle's best tracks, a perfect accent to the devoted collector, or a necessary primer for the new fan. As historically important during their active period of 1975 - 1981 as contemporaries Can, The Sex Pistols, and Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle's influence on today's music (from experimental production techniques and confrontational live shows to independent promotion via their own Industrial Records label) runs far deeper than they are often credited."

Title:	Second Annual Report
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	MUTE 1093CD

The Throbbing Gristle reissue campaign. TG were: Genesis P-Orridge (bass, vocals, violins), Chris Carter (synthesizers, electronic rhythms, tapes), Peter Christopherson (tapes, machines) & Cosey Fanni Tutti (lead guitar, effects, tapes). This version of Second is the 1991 CD reissue of their debut album, originally issued in 1977 on the group's own Industrial Records. "A proper debut of sorts, Second Annual Report includes several versions each (some live) of early Throbbing Gristle standards like 'Slug Bait' and 'Maggot Death', as well as an 'Industrial Introduction' and the soundtrack work 'After Cease to Exist'. The music is relentless, grinding distortion, only occasionally leavened by vocal samples and percussion."
