^ Hey, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Stephen !
If anyone else is as ignorant/curious as me, they can read about Industrial Records here:-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Records
It turns out that Throbbing Gristle have about 30 releases on IRC, including the most-mentioned albums in this thread, which in chronological order are
Second Annual Report, D.o.A. and
20 Jazz Funk Greats.
And btw, here's a great description of TG from a reviewer on that AllMusic website:- "...the sound of a gray day in a British tower block after all the drugs have run out."
