Cataloguing the world's music releases

Mute Records - Tonal Evidence

by Graham Needham (© 1st November 2013)

Mute have issued eleven specific releases in their "Tonal Evidence" series of audio compilations. Tonal Evidence 1 and 5 were promotional CDs issued in the United Kingdom. Tonal Evidence 4 was a promotional CD issued in the USA (given to attendees of the WEA National Sales Meetings in Chicago 17/08/1991 as an "approximate soundtrack to the 'Mute' presentation" at that event - only 1000 copies manufactured). Tonal Evidence 2, 3 and 6 were promotional cassettes (some copies of 6 were given away free at Mute artist gigs or with Mute Bank orders). Tonal Evidence 7 was a commercially released CD (only 1000 numbered copies manufactured) although a few (very rare) unnumbered copies were used as promotional editions. On 26th November 2016 Mute issued Tonal Evidence 2016 for the Christmas 2016 Independent Label Market day. Mute issued Tonal Evidence 2017 on 25th September 2017 as part of their London Pop-Up Store + Soho Radio Residency. Mute issued Tonal Evidence 4.0 in October 2018 as part of their Mute 4.0 40th anniversary celebrations. Mute issued Tonal Evidence 2019 Volumes 1 and 2 on 30th November 2019 as part of the Christmas 2019 Independent Label Market day in London. There are also some other audio evidence based compilations released around the world including a few foreign titles that use the Tonal Evidence title:
