**Vinyl Re-Press. Transparent green vinyl + 8 page 12” booklet + download with 11 bonus tracks redeemable from the label.** Throbbing Gristle's second album, remastered - making for markedly superior sound quality to some previous editions - and reissued on Industrial Records. This finds the band at their sleazy (no pun intended) and savage best, reaching an apogee of apoplectic rage on 'We Hate You (Little Girls)', and has to rank as one of the most brilliant British evocations of decay and dysfunction to appear in any art form, ever. For all the P.Orridge-helmed murk, you feel Chris Carter's presence more firmly on this album - as on the the steam-powered, laser-striped synth-wave of 'Dead On Arrival' and especially 'AB/7A', reminiscent of his recently canonized solo set The Space Between. For all its electronic innovations, DoA also captures TG's oft-forgotten ability to rock, as heard on 'I.B.M.', 'Hit By A Rock' and 'Blood On The Floor', which locate and update the essence of the Stooges and Gen’s beloved Velvets. 'Five Knuckle Shuffle' is as disconcertingly, flagellatingly funky as it always was, and in 'Walls Of Sound' you see the roots of Whitehouse and pretty much all P.E. and harsh noise that's come since. Never mind the bollocks, you've got Throbbing Gristle.

Cat. number: TGLP3
Year: 2019
Notes:
Same edition distributed in Europe & US but with additional stickered barcode & cat. number in the US. Includes 8-page 12inch booklet "Industrial News". The front sleeve of this edition has been sanitized, i.e. the small insert picture of a girl in a state of somewhat scant dress and dubious posture that used to be located near the lower right corner of the cover has been removed, certainly due to its visual closeness to, by modern standards, forms of child pornography. It goes without saying that, for similar reasons, the original inlay cards that came with the first mail-order edition of the album have not been reprinted.
