United Dairies

United Dairies was founded in 1979 by John Fothergill to release the first LP by Nurse With Wound. Over time, Fothergill used the label to release other artists such as Lemon Kittens and Bombay Ducks. He also set up the side label Experimental Records for more rock-oriented music. However, Steven Stapleton, another member of Nurse With Wound, found these releases to be of poor quality and eventually took over the label when Fothergill stepped back from musical activity.

In its early years, United Dairies primarily released LPs with a few cassettes. In 1987, they released a 32 cassette box set called "Untied Diaries 1979-1987" which included most of their back catalog along with some previously unreleased items. However, buyers discovered that the box set was missing at least two titles and often had duplicate copies of others. The entire cassette series was later reissued by RRRecords.

Due to problems with their distributor The Cartel, People Who Can't took over distribution and manufacturing for United Dairies. During this period, most releases were by Nurse With Wound and related projects but there were plans for releases by irr.app.ext. and Earthmonkey that never came to fruition due to issues with World Serpent Distribution. After World Serpent folded in 2003, Jnana Records began manufacturing and distributing United Dairies' releases

Nurse With Wound, often stylised as NWW, is a British experimental music project formed in 1978 by Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill and Heman Pathak. After Heman left the group in 1979, it effectively became a solo project of Steven Stapleton with various assisting musicians over the years.

Focusing on aesthetic ideas and philosophies inspired by the Surrealist movement, Nurse With Wound is considered a contemporary extension of Surrealism. Their unique sound has earned them the reputation of being 'purveyors of sinister whimsy to the wretched.'
