Current 93 is the ongoing work of David Tibet (now known as David Michael), once a member of Psychic TV and 23 Skidoo and also the founder of Dog's Blood Order. Dog's Blood Order was David's project which preceeded Current 93. Current 93 began in 1982, releasing a ritualistic single in the next year called LAShTAL and went on to release LPs of noisy soundscapes up through 1986. At that point, they turned to a more "apocalyptic folk" sound, with acoustic guitars and atonal vocals; yet they constantly evolve a new style with each record. Though the group is really Tibet's own, a family of ever changing musicians helps out with each release. The one musician to appear on virtually all Current 93 releases is Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound, and David Tibet in his turn has appeared on numerous Nurse With Wound releases. Members of Current 93 have collaborated with other groups such as Coil and Death In June. In addition to this, David's record label, Durtro, has released music from Antony and the Johnsons, Shirley Collins, Nature And Organization, Tiny Tim and others.

Death in June is a post-industrial music group led by English folk musician Douglas Pearce, better known as Douglas P. The band was originally formed in Britain in 1981 as a trio, but after the other members left in 1985 to work on other projects, the group became the work of Douglas P. and various collaborators. Douglas P. now lives in Australia. Over Death in June's three decades of existence, numerous shifts in style and presentation have occurred, resulting in an overall shift from initial post-punk and Industrial Records influence to a more acoustic and folk music-oriented approach. Although sometimes considered controversial, Death in June has become very influential in certain post-industrial musical circles. Douglas P.'s influence was instrumental in sparking neofolk, which his music has subsequently become a part of. Death in June soon left the reticent punk scene behind and began to infuse their sound with electronics and martial style drumming, combined with a Joy Division-influenced post-punk sound. Their lyrics maintained much of the poetry and political urgency of the early Crisis recordings. Tracks such as the early single sides "Holy Water" and "State Laughter" demonstrated an ongoing fascination with political systems. Further on, Douglas P. would abandon any overt interest in politics in favor of a more esoteric approach to his work. After some tension in the group regarding the direction it was taking, Wakeford was asked to leave Death in June in January 1984 after a show in Paris, France. Wakeford then began a post-punk project called Above the Ruins shortly before founding Sol Invictus. Although relations were bad for several years after his enforced departure, Wakeford re-established his friendship with Douglas P. in the late 1980s. He remains on good terms with Douglas P. and has appeared as a guest on stage during one Death in June show in London in 1998. Collaborations include those with Boyd Rice, Les Joyaux de la Princesse, Current 93 and John Murphy of SPK fame. Artists considered to include Death in June influences in their work are Der Blutharsch, Moon lay hidden beneath a cloud, Forseti, Dies Natalis, Wappenbund and Blood Axis, Ain Soph, Coil, Derniere Volonte, Novy Svet, Strength though joy, Sixth Comm, Sonne Hagal, Decadence, Kirlian Camera, Regard Extreme, Gae Bolg and the church of Fand, Leger des Heils.

Condition: Vinyl and cover lie in excellent- condition. Vinyl looks very clean with a couple of light scuffs and plays perfectly, while cover lies in great shape for its' age and for the fact that it's too fragile.
