Nurse With Wound ‘A Sucked Orange’ reissued by Infinite Fog on 2LP picture disc, CD and tape
Infinite Fog Productions reissues Nurse With Wound’s 1989 album “A Sucked Orange” on August 15, 2026 as a 2LP picture disc, DigiCD and limited tape edition.
Infinite Fog Productions reissues the Nurse With Wound album “A Sucked Orange” on August 15, 2026. The experimental project led by Steven Stapleton first issued the record through his own United Dairies label in 1989; the new edition appears as a 2LP picture-disc set in a gatefold sleeve, a DigiCD and a limited tape, with an accompanying T-shirt.
“A Sucked Orange” collects short studio fragments, samples, spoken-word pieces and drone passages, several drawn from or related to other Nurse With Wound recordings.
The album is a collection of short pieces, 36 tracks in total (40 for the Bandcamp version), each clocking in anywhere from five seconds (“Raymonde Fluffs It”) to just over four minutes (“I’m A Frayed Knot”). Good to note that the Infinite Fog 40-track edition is not a straight copy of the original 1989 United Dairies CD, as that one only had 29 tracks.
The new tracklist goes from 29 to 40 entries, restores/adds tracks 30–36, and includes four full-side vinyl mixes.
Here are the extra tracks in this release:
- Wisecrack
- Praying Mantis
- Its All Gone Weird/Nasal Hair
- Automating (Some More)
- It Just Ain’t So/In Heaven
- Well What D’ya Know Henry
- Relax
And these are the four format-specific tracks that are added on Bandcamp:
- Vinyl mix – Side A
- Vinyl mix – Side B
- Vinyl mix – Side C
- Vinyl mix – Side D
About Nurse With Wound
Nurse With Wound is the main recording name of British musician Steven Stapleton. The act formed in 1978 as a trio of Stapleton, John Fothergill and Heman Pathak, and recorded its first releases in a free-improvisation idiom that listeners associated with industrial music.
By 1981 Stapleton was the sole continuing member,. In 1982 he released “Homotopy to Marie”, the first fully realised Nurse With Wound release. Stapleton also runs the United Dairies label, which issued Nurse With Wound records alongside material by Current 93 and other experimental artists. The project’s catalog spans long-form drone works such as “Soliloquy for Lilith” and shorter, collage-based records, of which “A Sucked Orange” is an example.
Side-Line previously reported on the reissue of the Nurse With Wound album “Thunder Perfect Mind”, and on the project Nodding God formed by David Tibet and Andrew Liles of Nurse With Wound. The Infinite Fog reissue of “A Sucked Orange,” dated August 15, 2026, returns one of the project’s late-1980s United Dairies titles to vinyl.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
