It's kind of a "Heathern Earth" from 1979,but without the invited audience of TG brown nosers, and not much in the way of vocals. All mixed in the melee are parts of other TG tunes,mostly Carter's sequencer bits from the more popular tracks.And lots of Gristliser,as featured on the artwork 'wot I did'.
The files were provided by that man Stephen Surreal again!
- Bass Guitar, Vocals, Violin, Effects [Gristliser] – Genesis P-Orridge
- Guitar, Cornet, Effects [Gristliser] – Cosey Fanni Tutti
- Synth, Drum Programming [Rhythms], Tape [Tapes] – Chris Carter (2)
- Tape [Tapes], Cornet, Computer – Peter Christopherson
1 - Untitled. (42:11)

Yes went to see TG 4 or 5 times back in the day but only recently realised that Chris Carter had prerecorded the beats at home and the rest were playing along to a backing track. Not that it was in any sense a dead performance what with Genesis belowing into the mic and Cosey doing her slide guitar business but feel slightl cheated it wasn't all live - do you think it is too late to get my money back?

holy pandrogeny, Batman! just when I think I've heard, or at least heard of, every TG tape in existence - along comes this! Many thanks JZ and Stephen Surreal.
Thank you, your majesty....
I never knew this was in circulation. Loved CD1, waiting for this to finish downloading so I can rush off and lsiten to it! Thank you :)
Welly Welly Well, this seems to be popular!
Anonymous 1,I'm sure Gen would give you your money back if you asked him/her.Dunno 'bout the other two though.
Yeah but from what ive heard (never attended a concert as i was 5-10 yrs old) its not like chris pressed play & checked out. Ive always been a bit bored by live spk tapes for this reason though, while their studio recordings are subtle & magnificent. Thanks for everything.
Encore un grand document sonore d'une époque révolue ...
Gracias amigo
incredibel, may your soul lying at river made of milk and honey (and some beer).
...er,lots of beer please!
Glad I managed to get this to you,it does beat the crap outta CD1 ! (when CD1 came out,I was rather bemused at it's basic lack lustre nature & overproduction)
Absolutely Stephan.I blame it on Carter.
Saw these guys live once, insane, incredible, before the gig they were standing outside the building dressed in orange, playing percussion instruments and chanting hara krishna hare rama :)
Man, you weren't kidding - this sounds PHENOMENAL compared to the official release! Any chance you could upload a lossless version?
And thanks for posting this!
Oh man, yes finally! I've spent the last three days attempting to hunt this down, or rather 'CD1' was what I'd been hunting for - wanting badly to add it back into the music collection after first coming up on it a few years ago. As it blew me away back then, and this is after
already working my way through all of their proper studio albums, singles and various others all considered canon: the unofficial "first report", journey through a body, heathen earth, mission of dead souls, and of course their mk2 stuff after they reformed (which is just as great, if not better imo, than most of their original output).
But CD1 is something else entirely, even in it's edited form, its one of the first things I'd consider showing to someone who still hasn't listened to TG yet, safe in the security of knowing it's likely the best example of their music that's on a single record (or CD, I should say). But I didn't know the origins of this elusive album, or really anything about it, for that matter. So having the untampered version of what would become CD1 feels to me like I caught meself something even better and for that, I've got you to thank. I had almost given up on finding it but as one door closes another opens, I suppose.
Can't wait to listen! Cheers
