It's been 30 years since the release of The Second Annual Report, Throbbing Gristle's first album, which is considered by most to be the first ever industrial album. To commemorate this, TG is releasing a special limited edition of the album called The Thirty-Second Annual Report.
The album is limited to 777 copies, exactly the same as the original, and can be pre-ordered now. Here's what you'll get:
"12" 180gm vinyl LP comprises a recording of Throbbing Gristle's live demonstration at La Villette in Paris on 6th June 2008 at which they performed a reinterpretation of their original album. This album is pre-framed in bespoke, high-quality white gloss acrylic with an easy access clear window for removal of the record/sleeve and ready to hang. Purchasers of this unique object will also receive a special 'black' extended CD version, which includes extra tracks that would not fit on the vinyl format. In addition, all buyers will have access to a free digital download of the extended version and a PDF booklet of text and photos on the albums release."
Throbbing Gristle also announced the re-activation of the Industrial Records label, which is the original industrial label and namesake of the industrial genre. The label was at one time home to acts like Clock DVA, Leather Nun, William S. Burroughs, and more.
