This will be the first time The Taste Of TG is available on vinyl and will be presented on double red vinyl alongside a CD and digital release. The Second Annual Report was originally released on November 4, 1977 and is the first album from Throbbing Gristle, one of the most politically and sonically antagonistic bands of all time. Throbbing Gristle are Chris Carter, Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (who sadly passed away on November 25, 2010), Cosey Fanni Tutti and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. Their impact on music, culture and the arts is immeasurable and still felt today. Listen to “United” here.
