Description

This is an L.P. of the FIRST ANNUAL REPORT by Throbbing Gristle.
It is also known as "Very Friendly".

This LP was out at various times , notably in 2001 on Get Back Records, and on CD
with the sleeve showing cartoon of mailbox..

This is the SPURT RECORDS LP with the news items cut up on back sleeve, including the
Conservative Party Member of (British) Parliament, Nicholas Fairbairn, denouncing the group, saying "these people are the wreckers of civilisation"
or something like that. And you also get the picture of young Siouxie and Severin (of Siouxie and Banshees fame).
