This 1985 United Dairies compilation LP represents one of the label’s most distinctive documentations of experimental sound an edition that brings together a radical lineup of artists working across industrial, modern classical, improvisation, and avant-garde forms.

This copy is the rare second version, recognizable by its Burned Man cover: a stark, haunting photograph on the front (by Produktion) paired with Steven Stapleton’s artwork on the back. Unlike the first pressing featuring the “monster cover,” this edition was issued without inserts and includes updated credits for distribution, lacquer cutting, and photography.

Across two sides, the compilation traces an explosive, dissonant, and exploratory landscape: Jacques Berrocal’s fractured brass interventions, Anima’s feral and percussive experiments, the abrasive industrial tensions of ’Foetus In Your Bed, and the legendary improvisational force of AMM. Nurse With Wound deliver one of their most visceral early contributions, while Operating Theatre closes the record with a brief, surreal miniature.

A key artifact from the mid 1980s underground and an essential piece for collectors of United Dairies, Nurse With Wound, AMM, and the broader industrial/experimental tradition.
