Best Of.... Volume I

Mono. The recordings were made in early 1975. A "Best of Volume I" never existed during the historical TG period of activity, until this cassette was released much later (in the early 90s) by the same people who reprinted "Best of... Volume II" and the first 10 IRC live cassettes with the same artwork but a few minor differences. It was never present in the original Industrial Records catalog that started with "Best of... Volume II" (IRC 1, a reissue) and ended with Cabaret Voltaire (IRC 35) in the last edition. Specifically, these re-issued cassettes have the message "this is a V.A.T. re-release" on the B side label of the cassette. Although exact numbers aren't known for the V.A.T. releases, there are probably far more of those than the original handmade versions. Not to be confused with this release, the original "Best of... Volume II", hand-distributed in a few copies in 1976, was also the first Industrial Records' number: IR0001. Although no track titles are listed, an approximate track resembles the following: A Side: Untitled (1:11), Untitled (2:19), Untitled (0:54), Untitled (1:41), Untitled (14:59), Untitled (1:40), Untitled (1:09), Untitled (2:55), Untitled (1:09), Untitled (0:58), Untitled (8:30), Scars of E (6:14), Untitled (0:29). B Side: Untitled (0:40), Untitled (0:58), Untitled (10:02), Untitled (1:09), Very Friendly (Part One) (11:06), Very Friendly (Part Two) (9:27), We Hate You (Little Girls) (Version One) (2:36), We Hate You (Little Girls) (Version One) (2:39), American Magician Talking (0:58), Neil Young - New Mama / Look Out Joe (2:56). The two tracks are not Throbbing Gristle. The first is a recording of an American magician performing a trick with a small audience. The second is of Neil Young's "New Mama" ending, then the end plays again and "Look Out Joe" begins before ending abruptly.
