I cannot pick out one of these cassettes as superior to the other, all are superb live documents of a band at their peak, making a type of music that was never heard before; this is (non) musical history in the making.
listening to 24 hours of T.G. is never boring, and is a thoroughly recommended pastime. I wouldn't give the same recommendation for listening to 24 Hours of Dire Straits for example......in fact that very thought gives me suicidal, or even genocidal, urges. Why Knopfler hasn't been tried for crimes against humanity I'll never know!!?
Limited to just 50 numbered
copies, each one personalized to the buyer and dated. Each copy is
unique with hand-made collages on each of the primary (signed)
information card. Each set also came with three colour-copied inserts
(colour copies were very expensive and rare in 1980 when these were
made). One featured an informal shot of the band while another was a
collage by G P-O of the proposed "Industrial Records HQ". Copies also
contained 2 full-sized b&w original photos: one a classic press
shot and the other an informal image of the band being interviewed (by a
small radio station in US). Some copies came with two cassettes of
interviews,.....IRCA and IRCB,included below after IRC26.
Each set retailed for 88 UK pounds (for UK) or 99 UK pounds rest of the world (postage paid).
This is, by far, the most collectible of all official TG-releases.

Thanx But I'm unable to download from Mega.co because I have an older Mac and can't update my browser. BigDom
Sick Jonny...absolutely SIIIIIIICK!
-PV
Could you re-up IRC19? The mega download doesn't seem to work for that one (just keeps saying "starting"). Thanks, awesome blog by the way
Oh my GAWD, Johnny! Do you actually have one of these, or you just have the files? Must have taken ages to digitize it all. I doff my cap to you sir.
IRC19 now reupped to Ubuntu one.
I'll slowly do unbuntu uploads for all of 'em. I know some of you out there can't do the Mega encryption thang!
I Don't do interviews Mr Fab. But thanks for the doffin of the cap.
Continue! C'est le grand panard!!!
Thanks for taking the time to do this - what an absolute chap. :)
Thanks Tesla; you specialize in free energy technology,I specialize in Free Throbbing Gristle technology. Fair swap.
Hey Mr...remember me? I'm mr Housewives sold Ice As Chicken...GREAT BLOG.. I was at the TG Centro Iberico gig and have been searching for that recording for years....now I'm in pig heaven!..and you have the sir Alick 45..fuck me!..
Xp
By the way, you do know that Knopfler was at one of these gigs and apparently loved it? Just mentioning it because I thought it was funny that you mentioned him.
Jeez. Thanks for this, and thanks for what you do.
Awesome post! Much appreciated.
Hi Peter,
yeah cause i remember you. Housewives sold ice as... is still doing the rounds, and will be repromoted soon, with the Year Zero relaunch.it got a few plays on US Radio this year.
Glad you found your TG gig,had no idea it was so rare,i was wrong.
And a Sir Alick and the phaser fan to boot!
There may ne a new Mark Chapman LP htis year needeing your trademark art on its cover.
Cheers,
JZ
Hi Lawrence,
yes its hilarious that Knopfler was at a TG gig, but not unexpected.We get these bland musicians turning up all the time at good gigs.Like Springsteen was a regular at Suicide gigs in the 70's.They are decent chaps but make god awful music!
Thank you Jonny, thakn youthankyouthankyou !!!!!!!!! Fantastic posts, I cannot wait to hear.Thans for all the hard work in the last weeks.Not only the music but also your graet comments/texts on them.
The internet is a far better place thanks DIY(2).
(Could you upload the mega files from TG to ubuntuone or the like? I cannot open mega)
Thank you, very best wishes,
Michael
Thanks Michael.
I will be reupping all to Ubuntu one, but you have to be patient.I used Mega because i already had the files stored on there. IRRC 02_08 and 19 arre alresdy on Ubuntu, so you can start there.
JZ
Hey! This is amazing, thank you so much. I just went though and downloaded all the ones that worked. The ones that DID NOT work for me:
7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26.
Not sure why some of the Mega links are working and some are not loading at all... I will wait until all of them are uploaded to Ubuntu! Can't wait! :D
Yeah Mega is shite! Its encrypted, but, too well encrypted. Too clever by half again!
Patience is a virtue.
This is amazing - thank you! Apologies if this is a stupid question but I can't see number 23, yet Peter in a comment above says that he was having trouble with it. Has it been removed altogether?!
JK
I used to have a full box of these, but they got lost or stolen, many moons ago.
Great to find them again, many thanks for your time and effort, absolutely brilliant work.
As an old mac use I can't use mega either unfortunately :(
The ones I can't get are 17 and 20-26.
I realise IRC23 is posted separately.
I've waited nearly 30 years to hear these again so am happy to be patient.
Cheers, Andy T.
Hi Andy,
I'm slowly getting round to putting it all on Ubuntu. Sit tight, and it'll be all available in a couple of weeks.
Cheers.
All the way up to IRC22 are now ubuntu'ed as of 20/03/2014.
all files are now ubuntued.
Thanks Jonny, you are a diamond x

Thank you so much for this!!! Your blog is pure gold. Greetings from Lima, Perú.
Juan Noise.
Right back at ya Juan Noise. One People, One World, One Noise. Didn't know Peruvians were into this kinda stuff?
Any chance of a re-up of the downed MEGA files? The Google Drive files are all OK, thanks so much for your efforts regardless.
wOT?...I Will of course look into this....and reup them too. You can get all these over at Ubu Web,they used my files. If you can't find them i'll post a link.
Please post the key for mega.... i can´t download
hi, yes the mega links are out of date, i've gotta replace 'em,so bare with me. Sorry.
There all available at UbuWeb http://ubu.com/sound/tg.html
Correct,like i said earlier.
Hi all.
All the Mega links have been updated now, complete with encryption keys included in the link.
Thank you so much for this upload, essential stuff for sure. Stupid question maybe, but did you actually own one of those set ?
Keep going Jonny, your work is incredible, cheers from south France.
Now that'd be telling....Thing was there was a shop in Leicester that sold the individual live cassettes...Ultima Thule.That and i knew a man who did have the set....now sensibly sold of course.
Where in the South of France are you then? I'm near Beziers/Montpellier.
I was expecting this kind of story, a chance that you kept a trace of it !
I'm in the very north of Montpellier too !
Is there a chance to meet at any kind of music event soon ? Or did you prefer to stay anonymous (and I could totaly undertstand it) ?
Yeah,don't mind.Of course it depends where,and what. South of France-ish.
is it possible for you to reupload irc 19? it says "temporary error" when you download it on mega, and on megasync it says it's been temporarily blocked
Hi Six, bloody hell you are correct! I'll re-up the fucker in the morning.Sit tight.
hi, what an amazing blog. thank you for all of your hard work in getting this stuff uploaded especially the TG/IR material.
Would there by any chance of re-uploading cassette 19 of TG24 please as its down on mega?
Thanks in advance
ok Lee Rockabilly, always having trouble with file 19!!!!?......i'll move it to the reliable google drive today. Chris and Cosey keep trying to block me....and failing....you can get these same files on Ubuweb by the way as they copied them off me....what goes around comes around as they say?
OK IRC19 Re-upped to google drive as of March 2nd 2017
thanks so much Johnny. Much appreciated. Good luck with C&C ;)
I have the number 36.Bought it two months ago in Kreuzberg,Berlin.
HOLY MOLEY!
My experience of TG has been pretty much limited to 20 Jazz Funk Greats but the sheer enormity of this felt irresistible - and boy!! am I glad I've dipped my toe into this particularly putrid pond. I'm hearing things that are frying my eardrums- 24 hours of it is not enough!
Thank you so much for posting!
Well, there are quite a few hours MORE on here if you put throbbing gristle in the search box.
Jonny,
Just discovered your trove of TG and I'm overwhelmed. What a collection! I was surprised this set of TG was still downloadable since you originally posted four years ago and the last comment posted was nearly a year ago. All was available except tape #23 which does not appear on the blog. If you happen to have that tape and have the time to post it it would be great. I noticed Discogs listed the collection being last sold for $2,200 in 2014. Wow. I'm pondering The Merzbox for $427.50 postage paid via Amoeba but 2 grand+ is over the top of my account.
Thank you for all the work you do on this blog!
Rexx
Hi Rexx,.....IRC23 wasn't in the box.....it was released as 'Pastimes/Industrial Muzak'......and you can get it here: http://dieordiy2.blogspot.com/2014/03/throbbing-gristle-pastimesindustrial.html
Yeah still up despite threats from Industrial Records(Chris and Cosey),which you may have read in the comments above.......I'm not breaking any copyright by providing a link to the hosting site.Its the host that is legally breaching copyright,but i doubt c+c have the might to take on google.
Don't spend yer money on 'things'.....TG (GPO + sLEAZY) were definitely anti-stuff,so don't feed the need......buy a homeless person a meal and download it to your computer......i may get round to posting Merzbox....some of it is already on here in fact.
Jonny,
After I posted the comment I noticed and downloaded 'Pastimes/Industrial Muzak' so again thank you so much! Sadly, some other sad sap picked up the Merzbox before I made a decision on it. I have the Merbox in 128K thanks to another fine blogger but it's sort of a bucket list thing to own the monstrosity in physical form. I'll probably just spring for a fresh copy through Extreme Records since they still have not sold all 1000 copies after eighteen years. I really appreciate the work you do on your blog and I will probably be purchasing some of your very cool etsy creations as well! Great stuff!
Rexx
Superb, I'm in the process of making a cassette replica with these files, thanks again
Speakin' of overpriced Merzbow, any chance of seeing "Lowest Music & Arts 1980 - 1983"?
Your gen-her-osity and gen-her-alle battytude and gen-you-winely great sense of tumor are so much aphix-eee-lated that I just had to gen-errrr-hate a very heartmelt mass-ahge of gen-you-fleck-ting grotty-tood.
Wow! You made my day! Thank you!
So, I have set 89 I bought in 1980, with all posters, pictures plus othe memorabilia.... Q. Do I sell it?
Yep sell sell sell.
The price is so,something ridiculous, like ten grand or something insulting to the starving.
That fat jerk over at vile on demand has three or four of these things, don't be like him. Give it back to the world...maybe frank VOD will buy it off you him being a trustafarian hoarder
As a huge fan of your blog, and even I have spent hours searching for pearls in this never ending sea of collectible rarities, I recently discovered you had upload those TG stuff... This is occasion to ask you THE question I wanted to ask you for long : why is there no COIL in your collection ? Something personal against Balance and Christopherson ? A bad souvenir ? Well, thanx for all and your always funny (and half comprehensive, for the froggy I am) commentaries.
No Coil?.....how about this:
https://dieordiy2.blogspot.com/2014/02/zos-kia-coil-transparent-nekrophile.html
Apart from that, I didn't dig the early Coil stuff, or their 'Dance' Music phase. Latter day Coil is great especially, " The Ape Of Naples"(2005), which is one of the most genuinely creepy albums ever made, battling it out with Scott Walker for the major honors in that genre. And better than anything TG ever did.
Froggy are you? I am trapped in the land of your birth,can't afford to move back to the UK,which i would dearly love to.
Yes, of course, what I had in mind was this dark period of Coil. You can add the two "Music to Play in the Dark" (2000) to "Ape", perhaps ...creepier?
I had read this nostalgia for your country in your commentaries. What you sometimes write about Leicester (?) remains me of the perfect Dave Keenan's fist novel, "Memorial Device"... Did you read this ?
