Description
This is a fine limited edition original U.K. pressing copy of the second LP by groundbreaking British industrial group Throbbing Gristle, released in 1978. The group came into being as an arm of the radical performance art group COUM Transmissions. They basically gave the genre of "industrial" music its name with their Industrial record label, and influenced countless subsequent groups through both their own music and that of the groups that members started or participated in after TG broke up (Psychic TV, Chris and Cosey, Coil, etc.). Like their debut, D.o.A. mixes live and studio recordings. The most notable track (or at least the one that receives the most fanfare on the jacket's back cover) is a gruesome little piece about a burn victim called "Hamburger Lady." The record was released in a limited pressing of 3,000. The jacket is all but pristine -- M(-). The disc is clean, and plays with occasional light surface noise (EX+). The record lacks the inserts that were included with copies ordered through the mail.
I am in the process of selling off a large personal collection amassed over two decades. All discs have been stored in plastic lined inner sleeves separate from their jackets. The jackets have been stored in plastic sleeves. I have play graded (spot checked) discs except where otherwise noted.
If you'd like to order multiple items, I'll happily combine them so that you won't have to pay multiple shipping charges.
