Klusterfuck
Biiig Tip! This is a strange one. Originally conceived as part of an anarchistic publication, the tracks culled from two live performances at separate locations in London’s Shoreditch got as far as the test pressing stage as long as 5 years ago and then forgotten. The publication never materialised and the cut lacquers and metalwork lay languishing in a dark corner on a dusty bottom shelf in the pressing plants storeroom. Forgotten until we were presented with a hefty bill for production and s…
Brained By Falling Masonry/Cooloorta Moon
Tip! It could be argued that Brained and Cooloorta are the definitive Nurse With Wound E.Ps. Both classic and timeless fan favourites appear for the first time together on one single album. Both E.Ps marked a distinctive change in the NWW sound. Brained from 1984 showcases NWW at their mid 80’s finest. The relentless churning and uncompromising music of Brained by Falling Masonry is complimented by the eccentric mania of JG Thirlwell’s vocals. A Short Dip in Glory Hole takes us into the murky de…
Alas The Madonna Does Not Function
Tip! 1988 saw the release of several timeless and remarkable EPs from Nurse With Wound, one of those classics is Alas the Madonna Does Not Function. Madonna in some respect was a turning point for NWW. It’s a record that whilst unmistakably retaining that ineffable NWW character brought rhythmic and almost ‘musical’ elements into play. Madonna could be seen along with the Soresucker and Cooloorta Moon EPs as the bridge between the old and the new, the natural precursors to Thunder Perfect Mind a…
To the Quiet Men From a Tiny Girl (yellow vinyl) + Merzbild Schwet (blue vinyl) - 2LP Bundle
**Special Bundle, yellow and blue vinyls. Very few copies available** Two absolutely stunning, long out of print early artifacts from Nurse With Wound's seminal catalog - 1980's To the Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl and Merzbild Schwet - reissued on vinyl in limited editions from Dirter, that can't be missed. Both take huge strides toward rethinking notions of avant-garde music was during the dawn of the 80s, and remain as pregnant with the potential for contemporary influence today, as the already …
To the Quiet Men From a Tiny Girl + Merzbild Schwet

Very few copies available** Two absolutely stunning, long out of print early artifacts from Nurse With Wound's seminal catalog - 1980's To the Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl and Merzbild Schwet - reissued on vinyl in limited editions from Dirter, that can't be missed.

Merzbild Schwet
**500 copies, blue vinyl. Very few copies available** The long awaited vinyl reissue of NWWs classic third album is finally available. Nurse With Wound began as a trio, but by Merzbild Schwet, its third album, Steve Stapleton's singular vision took over, with no compromises to other band members. As such it can be considered the first fully realized NWW. record and is a far more mature effort than its predecessors. Stapleton's editing techniques come to the fore, with abrupt transitions, quirky …
To the Quiet Men From a Tiny Girl
**500 copies, yellow vinyl. Very few copies available** The long awaited vinyl reissue of NWWs classic second album is finally available. Following on the footsteps of Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table, To the Quiet Men From a Tiny Girl was Nurse With Wound's second album and shows the group refining itself from the debut and adding a lot more dynamics. The record starts off with the very short Umbrella Link, really just some guitar riffing from engineer Nicky Rodgers as a concession for NWW.…
The Great Ecstasy of the Basic Corrupt
Available for the first time since being issued privately as a limited vinyl, United Dirter present the CD issue of this ultra-rare 2014 two track LP, The Great Ecstasy Of The Basic Corrupt. The additional track "Circles Of Confusion" comes from the equally rare Silver Bromide LP (2013). Indulge yourself in these three immersive, ocean deep and intensely powerful tracks of sinister whimsy for the wretched. Yet another classic from the timeless and ever evolving Nurse With Wound.
Dark Fat
...A celebration and documentation of 10 years of Nurse With Wound shows but to call Dark Fat a live album is far too simplistic. It is an entirely new recording constructed by combining the most interesting moments of the past decade into unique tracks. We have M.S. Waldron to thank as he is archival commandant of the NWW oeuvre and since 2006 has recorded everything and we mean everything. He has recorded all the live shows, sound-checks, rehearsals, off-stage events and even covertly re…
Huffin Rag Blues
Nurse With Wound is the main recording vehicle for British musician Steven Stapleton. Since 1978, with collaborators such as David Tibet (Current 93), John Balance (Coil), Colin Potter and Matt Waldron (Irr. App [Ext]), Nurse With Wound has released dozens of albums that draw on nearly every genre of music. The only constant is that one never knows what the next album will sound like.Stapleton and Andrew Liles form the core of the band on Huffin' Rag Blues, and the direction to which they are he…
Paranoia In Hi-Fi
LAST COPIES, reduced price...One of the cheapest Nurse With Wound records you'll ever buy -- a special CD with a pricetag of 99p in the UK, selling here for a few dollars more by the time we got it in the US! Still quite a bargain, though -- especially considering the way that NWW rarities go for high prices -- and the CD features a beautiful mix of odd sounds and snippets from earlier work -- material recorded during the years 1978 to 2008, put together with a surprisingly whimsical feel…
Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Machine And An
This is the long-awaited vinyl re-issue of the timeless Nurse With Wound debut release from 1979. Described by Sounds at the time as a record that "makes The Faust Tapes sound like Carousel," nothing has changed to alter this view over the last 30 years, and to say that this work is the "Sgt. Pepper of the avant-garde" would not be hyperbole. The special box edition will consist of: the double LP, which will be a 2LP set with the extra track "Strain, Crack, Break" (never previously available on …
The Surveillance Lounge / The Memory Surface
Long out of print and much in demand, this classic Nurse With Wound CD is now back. This time as a double CD set with a CD of unreleased alternate mixes of each track. It’s packaged in a stunning matt digipack, with all the information in a clear gloss spot varnish. This is only visible from certain angles!
Nurse With Wound playing The Surveillance Lounge were and are Steven Stapleton, Andrew Liles, David Tibet, Nadja Belabidi, Lynn Jackson, Ollie Mathura O'Keeffe, Freek Kinkelaar, Miranda Kink…
