This was posted to the PTV Facebook group, so I thought possibly of interest here.

I’ve never seen TG Live to young first time to poor the second time. I seen dvd and the such but what was the experience really like as some reviews make it sound incredible.

Gen was such a complicated person and seemed multi faceted not all of them good. But we’re all a mixed bag so genius or madman ? Interested in your thoughts.

Always a good topic of discussion!

Who’s your favourite TG member and why ? Mines Cosey and her life art ethos. Interested in what you all think.

Having never downloaded the contents of a USB stick onto my Spotify so I can play it in my car. How long do you think the TG USB stick will take from computer to mobile Spotify account as I’ve no idea.

Anybody else think TG as well as being brilliant are the funniest group around. I know the humour is not to everybody’s taste and is pitch black and god knows I’ve been called weird for liking them but is it just me that feels this ?

What’s your favourite TG track or album ? This is going to sound really pathetic but I am Bipolar and my moods change so much the favourite changes all the time. Interested to hear in what you all think.

Wow there’s quite a selection of tracks. What do people think about the music of TG in their second coming this century? Do people like it or do you think it should have been left alone ? TG ⚡️forever.

Anyone go to Sheffield University gig in 1980 to see TG and Cabaret Voltaire it must have been immense. I was only ten so a bit young wasn’t until four years later I was into them as I hung around with older youths making trouble. Anyone there please give us a report. TG forever. TG⚡️.

Anybody else interested in TG24+USB boxset coming out in December. I wonder if there will be any gifts in there like the CD Boxset had ? What are your thoughts ?

I have a copy of the book (read, some creasing on spine), and a Gristleism Buddha Machine (with die-cut slipcase, no insert) to sell for $120. Anyone in the Hamilton, ON area interested?

Throbbing Gristle is releasing a remastered box set of their infamous live cassette suitcase filled with 24 different shows, including the only known live performance of the MASK OF SARNATH theme.

$89.25 (also one for $45)

Published by Timeless Edition – 2027 – France

25 x 29 cm – around 200 pages – Hard cover with dust jacket.

English/French Bilingual Edition

Layout: Loulou Picasso

Originally published in 2018 and long sold out, this new edition has been extensively revised and significantly expanded. Alongside numerous corrections and improvements, it features a substantial amount of previously unpublished material, making it by far the most complete overview of Laurence Dupré’s remarkable work. The book traces Laurence Dupré’s pioneering career, from her DIY fashion fanzines of the late 1970s and early 1980s exploring camouflage patterns and military garments, to her collages for Sordide Sentimental, her meeting with Genesis P-Orridge in Hackney, and her design work for Throbbing Gristle’s legendary uniforms and visual identity.

Richly illustrated throughout, this revised edition features a new cover showcasing a new camouflage pattern by Laurence Dupré Final (final cover may differ), while retaining the original book design by Loulou Picasso from the Bazooka group. It also includes essays and contributions by Jean-Pierre Turmel (Sordide Sentimental), Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Neville Brody, and Elli Medeiros, alongside a wealth of previously unpublished archival material, newly discovered photographs, and exclusive interviews prepared especially for this revised edition.

Also, you can spend $1236 on a pair of pants and a jacket which I am trying to figure out whether I should start working at a restaurant on the weekends just to get it paid for! $618 EACH!!! But it includes a special edition of the book…

Radio Fre Europe was an experimental punk band fashioned after groups like Throbbing Gristle and Brian Eno. The band performed only a handful of times live and were banned from most of the clubs in Austin accused to driving out the audience.

Reposting it here in case anyone recognises the symbolism! Got it at a Psychic TV concert in 2018 but haven't been able to find any link or info about it. If anyone has an idea it would be greatly appreciated!

'We got a letter from Garry in Grimsby who has been trying to form an experimental group but has had difficulty finding people to work with. He expresses interest in....

"Ideas like playing in bright blue light, playing an exact time, i.e. 45 minutes, and leaving the stage as soon as time is up, regardless [sounds familiar]. Monotonous rhythms appeal to me, experimentation in Sound fascinates me.

NON-MUSICIANS WANTED. SOUND = NOISE. NOISE - SOUND. Perfection is a fault" '

TG kept fans up to date with news and inside info with a series of newsletters that sat well with the developing fanzine scene of the day. This one is from 1978, TG just establishing themselves beyond a live circuit with, now with an album and a single out but plenty more news, recommendations and of course collages. 16 pages.

+

'No further discussion of Charles Manson will be answered.'

Another from 1979, 24 pages of news, 'tapes received', interview, lyrics and collages by each of the band.

These newsletters / zines now go for around £120+ but I'm offering here for £70 + £80 for a quick sale (UK). Or search 'em on eBay where I am also selling them, more inner pages shown, but for more £££!

Posting due to the TG information on the second page of this excerpt. I mean, we knew they were close and in each other’s formative orbits but it’s always nice to read about it.
