To mark the occasion we are pleased to announce the rerelease of TG's first five albums on vinyl & CD.

Each of the CD special-editions are presented in a gatefold sleeve featuring restored and remastered cover artworks and an integrated 8-page booklet (* the booklets feature different artworks and content to the vinyl editions).

This additional content includes TG live tracks and remastered singles. The Greatest Hits CD special-edition also includes two previously unreleased Throbbing Gristle mixes from the 1980s'. The vinyl & CD s will be released weekly in chronological order from 31st October

The main album is good but the bonus "live" disc is really just Mr P shouting and screaming over a tinny drum machine for an hour. One of those times when, i guess, you really had to be there.

I've never heard of this band, BUT...
8 Dec 2011
Format:Vinyl
As I said, I've never heard of this band. I'll admit they have a very ugly name. It was probably drawn from a hat, and submitted by the joker in the band. (and judging by the cover alone, the short guy in the white jacket looks like the funny one! you know, the joker in the lot.)
In any event, you can just tell by the cover, that these guys really know their folk music.
From what I've discovered, doing my research at my local library, this album is from the late 1960s, and the cover was taken where they eventually gave a free concert in 1971. The beautiful lady on the cover, all tall and pretty, plays the zither with such abandon, it almost sounds like a guitar! She really knows how to pluck them strings!
A few of the songs are instrumental, showing off Mr. Carter's beautiful whistling ability. It really is amazing. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that Roger Whittaker learned a few things from Mr. Carter. And that's saying a lot! (I once saw Roger Whittaker's Christmas special live, and that man's whistling brought tears to my eyes it was so beautiful. And that's no joke!) It's too bad I never got to see this band live. I don't know why Criterion doesn't release the movie they made of their free 1971 concert. The picture on the cover was taken from a secluded spot in Central Park. From what I've read, their stage was set up right on the spot where the guy in blue (I believe he goes by the incredibly wacky sounding name Peter "Easy" Christopherson, which is an homage to the popluar late 60s-early 70s saying "take it easy.") Makes ME laugh.
To sum up, if you like your rock 'n' roll hard and heavy like John Denver, or are more like me and prefer the inspiring sounds of Joan Baez and the fore-mentioned Roger Wittaker, then this is the album for you!
I suggest you play it at a pot-luck supper at your house, or a small get-together with your church group. I promise that after about 10 minutes, you'll be singing, humming, and (most importantly) whistling along with Easy's unmatched God-given talent. If this record doesn't become part of your youth group's annual new years eve alcohol-free parties, you might want to think about therapy. No really. Therapy is probably what you need.
And thanks to the record company who re-released this gem. (I think they're called "Dust Bunny Records.") Kudos (and I mean that delicious chocolate and granola bar) to Dust Bunny and everyone involved in this LP's release. Now it's time for my nap. But not before I write to Criterion and ask them to put that free 1971 Central Park performance out on VHS! (you should, too!)

Couldn't agree more
25 Mar 2012
Format:Audio CD
What a fantastic review from Mark Twain, I couldn't agree more with his comments. Those of you who are looking for more zither/whistling combination then I would suggest Nurse With Wound or why not NNCK? A hidden gem in the middle of the CD is a great explanation of the ceilidh dance that should accompany most of the tunes on this record. Well done Throbbing Gristle you really keep my feet tapping - hay, one for Mother's Day i'd say!

How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying
29 Mar 2012
Format:Audio CD
Of course as Twain and Sweetmarie have already stated, this is sublime folk populist dance revival with a classic sheen. The rendition of "Froggy Went A' Courtin' (Slight Return)" brings me tears of joy and pride in being an American in these latter days.
However, they failed to mention that listening to this album will not only make friends and influence people, but add sex appeal to your smile and control tartar while freshening your breath all day and into the evening.
It worked so well for me that I used it as the background music for a Powerpoint presentation at work for a series I labelled, "How To Destroy Godless Communism By Committing Suicide And Leaving No Buildings Standing: Scorched Earth Policy As A Marketing Tool". My overseer was so pleased, as were the cult members, that I was made CEO of our Honk Kong branch of Vibrating Doo Dads, LLC.
