CD United Dairies 1990
"A loose experimental project formed in 1978 by Steven Stapleton, Nurse with Wound explored abstract music - influenced by Krautrock, freewheeling jazz improvisation, and Throbbing Gristle but including a heavy debt to surrealists Dali and Lautréamont - with an overpowering release schedule of limited-edition albums and EPs. Stapleton worked with an ever-changing list of collaborators during the early years of Nurse with Wound, though Current 93's David Tibet has been the only frequent recording companion during the 1980s and '90s".
(John Bush, All-Music Guide)
"A Sucked Orange is a twenty nine track compilation of outtakes and random unused material from Stapleton’s huge tape archive. The reason for compiling this collection was that he was moving out to Ireland and couldn’t take all his tapes with him so most had to go in the bin. He 'picked them clean' to reveal these tracks. It’s a hit and miss affair with some tracks being frankly silly e.g. Raymonde Fluffs It. And some are short pleasant tid-bits. The Spiral Theme with it’s drifting ambience, or A Precise History of Industrial Music, which features various machines (a printer) and other strange sounds. Rockette Morton Parts One and Two, are just a loop of the name Rockette Morton delayed, mutated and twisted for what seems like eternity. I’m a Frayed Knot, features the tribal beats and sounds from Aquarium. This Piano Can’t Think, is the unaltered piano piece from the second track off Spiral Insania. Crack Up, is a swamp of orchestral synths. While Scissor Rock Bicycle Revelation is loops of scissors and someone changing a bicycle chain (I think). Most of the tracks here are quite simple with only a few elements competing to be heard. Dream of a Butterfly Inside the Head of a Horse is another amusing track, muffled buzzing and dissonant drones and sounds. It Just Aint So (Slight Return) was used on the Sylvie and Babs Hi-Thigh Companion. A Little Missing Part of Homotopy To Marie, is just that. Scrambled Egg Rebellion in the Smegma Department is a nice end to this compilation. Echoed cries and all that. Definitely a mixed bag. I suppose this is as close as you could get to demo versions of Nurse songs. All the pieces chopped up and separate before the Nurses put them together in their deformed wonderful ways. For fans only me thinks".

Thanks a lot !
Has it been taken down?
seems to be removed, post to megaupload maybe?
here's another link:

Sorry, I have a policy of never reuploading. Also, in this case, the fact that the link remained alive only for a few hours before being taken down, tells me that the same would probably happen to another reup.
Anyway, you can follow the anonymous tip and go for the mediafire link above, still active but at a lower bit rate...
Yes ELT, its just a matter of survival. Some excellent blogs have been taken down this year.
