Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements was the major-label debut of British group Stereolab, originally released in August 1993. The majority of the first 1500 vinyl copies had to be destroyed because of bad pressing quality.[7] Also, the track "Pack Yr Romantic Mind" had to be re-recorded because it used a George Harrison sample which the band was unable to receive permission to use.[8] The end of the last track, "Lock-Groove Lullaby", extends into a lock groove repeating a phrase sampled from Perrey and Kingsley's The Savers on their album Kaleidoscopic Vibrations: Spotlight on the Moog.

The LP's sleeve design and liner notes are adapted from a hi-fi test record issued by Hi-Fi Sound magazine in 1969. The record itself is sampled in the track "Jenny Ondioline".
