Godfathers of Industrial music Nurse With Wound issued their first album ‘Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella’ in 1978 as a hand-numbered 500 copy pressing which was cleared within weeks.

One of the most discussed aspects of the album was the inclusion of the Nurse with Wound list, an A4 sheet with a list of bands and artist who had provided inspiration to the group. It remains a touchstone for collectors of experimental and outsider music.

Full list after the jump.
