Throbbing Gristle - "Best Of....Volume 1" (Industrial Records IRC 0) 1979

Catalogue number ZERO???
In fact the ironically titled,"Best of ...Volume 1", was never listed in the Industrial records catalogue at all;which began with ,the ironically titled,“Best Of.....Volume II”?! These mono recordings were made early in the evolution of TG (early 1975), a primaeval soup out of which would crawl the first air breathing Industrial group a year later.(Or was that Cabaret Voltaire?) Early versions of 'Very Friendly' and 'We Hate You Little Girls' can be found here along with a variety of improvised material,pointing towards the future TG formula that would launch a million less inspired sound-alikes.

Believed by some not to exist at all(wrong),these are the Earliest recordings by Throbbing Gristle.Only a handful were made initially,and distributed to 'friends' in 1976.Then, made slightly more available in 1979 on Industrial records.

I attempted to edit this into tracks,but gave up at the shear scale of the task,just to identify where one track ends and another starts. I retrieved the track listing from Brainwashed.com.It might be correct, it most probably is not. It works fine as two pieces of continuous non-music,so one has opted for that option. Feel free to have a go yourselves?
