Originally released in 1976 in an
edition of approximately 50 copies, this is from the more commonly
available re-released from 1979.A ruthlessly edited digitally
remastered version was released as “The First Annual report of
Throbbing Gristle”;but if you want the original, long, muddy
cassette hissed fuzzy version, download it ,and revel in the Smog of
the original release. It contains the definitive version of “We
HateYou Little Girls”, a few highlights from the inaugural TG gig
at the ICA,and some tracks unique to this tape. This is how
Industrial music should sound, drowning in its own murky sewage under
fathoms of polluted water.

I used to have a different version of this on my ipod. This version was called "very friendly" and had a 40+ minute runtime and decent audio quality (unlike what you've uploaded here). Out of curiosity, I downloaded this and I must say, the unattractive muffled audio adds to the charm. It has that gritty, radioactive abandoned warehouse with rusted shutters feel that music of this genre should have. It's gory and beautiful, like a pond of atomic sewage. And I immediately replaced "very friendly" with this!
Yuk! there's nothing worse than 'cleaned up' versions of cassette classics. This pond of atomic sewage sound is how Industrial music should sound,even in hi-fidelity.You did well to sack off "very friendly".
