Editing Industrial Records (section)

==Background==
Artists released through the label included [[Cabaret Voltaire (band)|Cabaret Voltaire]], [[Clock DVA]], [[SPK (band)|SPK]], [[Thomas Leer]] & [[Robert Rental]], The [[Leather Nun]], plus ''outrage'' artist [[Monte Cazazza]], the author [[William S. Burroughs]]' auditory works, and a solo album by Throbbing Gristle member [[Chris Carter (British musician)|Chris Carter]].

A notable departure from the ''industrial'' form of the label was the [[blues]] standard "[[Stormy Weather (1933 song)|Stormy Weather]]" sung by [[Elisabeth Welch]], taken from the soundtrack of [[Derek Jarman]]'s film ''[[The Tempest (1979 film)|The Tempest]]''.

The label's first LP was Throbbing Gristle's debut LP ''[[The Second Annual Report]],'' which was limited to 786 copies. It came in [[Bootleg recording|bootleg]]-like packaging: a plain white card sleeve with glued-on [[xerox]] information strips.

In 2011, the label had an official "re-activation" as Throbbing Gristle's contract with [[Mute Records]] had expired. Since the band has permanently disbanded following the death of [[Peter Christopherson|Sleazy]], the label's plan is to re-release the original Throbbing Gristle albums (''[[The Second Annual Report]]'', ''[[D.o.A: The Third and Final Report]]'', ''[[20 Jazz Funk Greats]]'', ''[[Heathen Earth]]'', and ''[[Greatest Hits (Throbbing Gristle album)|Greatest Hits]]'') on the label.<ref>{{cite news|title=A Throbbing Gristle Primer|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2007/may/29/athrobbinggristleprimer | location=London | work=The Guardian|first=Steven|last=Wells|date=29 May 2007}}</ref> Originally intended to be released all at once on 26 September 2011, the label had to delay due to a Sony DADC warehouse fire in London. The new plan was to release a new album chronologically once every week starting on Halloween 2011 with The Second Annual Report and ending 28 November with Throbbing Gristle's Greatest Hits.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.throbbing-gristle.com/ |title=Throbbing-Gristle.Com |publisher=Throbbing-Gristle.Com |date=25 November 2010 |access-date=2 March 2013}}</ref>
