Mission Is Terminated / Nice Tracks

This release features a 12" "Mission is Terminated" by Throbbing Gristle, and "Nice Tracks" a LP containing songs and cut-up spoken word excerpts from various artists. Packaged in gatefold sleeve. Includes a 12"x12" 16-page fanzine "Red Ronnie's Bazar 3" which mainly contains a long interview with Genesis P-Orridge (in both English and Italian) and photos. Notes about the confusing tracklist and order of discs: - The inside gatefold reads that Throbbing Gristle is on sides 2 & 3 and the compilation on sides 1 & 4, which is incorrect. Actually, and also printed on labels, disc 1 plays the LP (sides 1 & 2) and disc 2 plays the 12" (sides 3 & 4) which is reflected on the above tracklist. - However, etchings on vinyl have a different logic in their suffix (see below matrix/runout etchings). - Durations printed on sleeve and on labels are slightly different for the 12". - The front sleeve can be viewed by choice from the TG panel or from the Nice Tracks panel, each matching on the inside-left gatefold with related texts, credits, etc. The 'TG' panel with the illustration of the Pope is generally known as the front sleeve. - At last, sleeve's spine reads 'EX 39 LY2 Throbbing Gristle "Mission Is Terminated" "Nice Tracks..." Nice Label' which also imply that Throbbing Gristle is the prime artist here. Track B24 is not listed, however the inside gatefold has an English translation of the dialogue spoken by Enrico Maria Salerno. Tracks C1 and C2 were recorded live in Sheffield. Tracks D1 and D2 are sound collages edited together from the original five tracks previously released on [r=101773]. On the inside gatefold cover (Throbbing Gristle panel): c p 1983 Expanded Music On labels: ℗ 1983 Nice Label - Made in Italy Notes from release: "Recorded when TG was suffering from a terminal illness of an incurable nature. Yera 1981. Definitely a Sinclair/Brooks Production. Higly Rêcoumended. Dedicated to Tremble, Tanith, Caresse and Harry (both). Inspired by love, coumposed by random chence.
