The Desertshore Installation is a box set that was released by Throbbing Gristle. The 12-CDr set documents the recording sessions of the cover version of Nico's third studio album, Desertshore. These recordings were made as a document of TG's Desertshore Installation.[1] These sessions were open to the public and a short question and answer session is included in the recordings. Each session lasted for approximately two hours and there were two sessions per day, an afternoon and an evening session. The box set only had one pressing.[citation needed]

A number of jams recorded during the installation appear on Throbbing Gristle's tour-only album release The Third Mind Movements.[citation needed]
