"This limited edition deluxe 7-disc DVD collection showcases the phenomenon that was, and is now, Throbbing Gristle Live in Performance.

Throbbing Gristle (Chris Carter, Peter Christopherson, Genesis P. Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti) finally release the much talked about live DVD box set on Christmas Eve 2007.

Featuring 10 full shows, most never-before-seen, ranging from the fascinating beginnings in 1979, by way of the classic videos of Oundle and Heathen Earth, and including the notorious RE~TG 're-grouping' 23 years later at London's Astoria Theatre in Spring 2004, as well as three more recent remarkable concerts, now available with a variety of newly mastered audio tracks including 5.1, binaural and conventional stereo. TGV comes packaged in a deluxe box with a 64-page book, all designed by Peter Christopherson.

The collection includes, from 1979-81, shows at:

* Oundle School
* Recording Heathen Earth at the Industrial Records Studios, Martello St. London
* Sheffield University
* Rafters Club, Manchester
* The Lyceum, London
* Kezar Pavilion, San Francisco
plus
* Derek Jarman’s famous short film made as a tribute to TG:
'Psychic Rally in Heaven' London

And from 2004-05:

* A short film of the Cabinet Gallery Exhibition 'TG24' by Andrew Wheatley
* Rare footage of TG rehearsing at Mute Studios in February 2004
* Shows at: RE~TG at the Astoria Theatre
* All Tomorrow’s Parties at Camber Sands
* Turin, Italy (both early and late shows!)

Please note: This Collection is made available for purposes of the historical record, rather than as conventional 'concert' footage. The shows from 1979-81 were shot on a single VHS hand-held camera, often in poor lighting conditions, reflecting TG's guerrilla approach to live presentation, technology and documentation.

The DVD set, numbered & limited to 2000 copies is initially only available from the TG store. If pre-ordered directly from the band, deliveries should be in time for Christmas." [label info]
