Mission of Dead Souls

Mission of Dead Souls is a recording of the final performance of Throbbing Gristle before their initial breakup. The concert took place at the Kezar Pavilion in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on the evening of May 29th, 1981.

The album was originally released as part of the Fetish box set, consisting of four old albums and this album that was exclusive to the box, but when Mute Records picked up the Throbbing Gristle catalogue, this was one of the albums that was picked up, making this one of the most common Throbbing Gristle albums.

An official Betamax and VHS of this performance was recorded and released by Target Video on in the US on NTSC format in 1983. This was later issued on DVD in the TGV box set.
