Throbbing Gristle-24 Hours PLUS

OK, I'm not going to break down the history of Throbbing Gristle again, just go back a couple weeks and you'll see what they are about.......I will restate, though, that at one point they actually, they released a set called "24 Hours", which was a bunch of cassette tapes, (I assume 24 of them) packaged in a suitcase.....I thought if I could locate these, they'd be a way cool download. I found MOST of them, I guess, on the "DIY or Die" blog, a little more explanation on that in a second.......after we get through what we have of that set, we have a few more Gristle submissions from some guests, and if you need more of their stuff after THAT????????? Well, hard to imagine.

The "24 Hours" cassettes are listed as such: the FIRST ONE I have is labeled IRC02 (apparently there is no "IRC01"?) and run up to IRC026..... keep in mind that the link for IRC019 (the IRC, I think stands for Industrial Records Company)......SO, CALLING ALL GRISTLE HEADS, if you happen to have IRC01 (if it exists) or IR0C19 (I KNOW it exists), please share up......I put these all in one post for a REASON....."24 Hours", as originally packaged, was a tribute Industrial Records determination to release EVERYTHING by it's bands, no matter the quality...."bulk" music.......it was a cool idea, only 50 "official" copies were released, later it was released individually and more economically......but this post is MY tribute to the overwhelming concept of music in bulk......sorry I don't have a suitcase......I will give a track list and a brief (VERY brief) description of each tape.......and, don't forget that after THAT, there is MORE Throbbing Gristle stuff to tantalize you......this is something of an ambitious post, hope it isn't excessive, and I really hope you not only like it, but can help everyone gather the missing pieces and we'll ALL be fulfilled!

One thing about all this live Throbbing Gristle, you can never accuse them of sameness in thier
shows.... you'll see EXACTLY what I mean, after digging into this.

The first tape I have here, as I said, was IRC02... recorded at the ICA, London, 10/18/76

OK, is that a set or not? I know we are missing a disc or so, BUT come on, I did the best I could for ya, and SOMEONE out there will fillin the blanks!....that "24 Hours" set is quite a piece of work, but as I promised you there is MORE MORE MORE!

OK, we also have some submissions from some good friends
of mine, let us begin with my main man Brian, who submits to us the wonderful "Industrial Studio 8-Track", it's fab, if you are a fan of Throbbing Gristle.It contains one track, "Untitled", from 3/8/77......don't miss this one either.....

Rob from Canada sends us a couple of Throbbing Gristle shows as well....."Live at the Death Factory" (date not noted) is fairly obscure, I think, as these things go.......track list: 01 Weapon Training/02 See You Are/03 Convincing People/04 Hamburger Lady/05 Her Arm Was Her Leg/06 What a Day/07  Persuasion/08 Five Knuckle Shuffle

Rob ALSO submits to us another gem, "BEYOND JAZZ FUNK CASSETTE", with imaginative titles ala 01 Side A 02 Side B........a pretty rare find actually, thanks loads to Brian, Rob from Canada, and the fab DIY or DIE blog post, this is a monumental undertaking, I hope some of you LOVEF it, some may hate it, but its a document for sure......enjoy, I've been thinking about doing this one for a while, hope it goes over ok......and of course, if any of you have IRC19, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contribute to the cause......trust me, all of us out here in music-world will appreciate it beyond your recognition!
