"Hoisting the Black Flag", released by United Dairies in 1980, is one of the cornerstone documents of early industrial music.
Nurse With Wound is on it, of course (I believe that for the first part of the decade, anyone releasing an experimental music compilation was legally obligated to include a piece by either Nurse With Wound, Bene Gessirit or Smersh). There are also two early songs by
Whitehouse, one by the indescribable
Lemon Kittens,
David Cross (
not the guy from Mr. Show),
Truth Club (an early band featuring Robert Haigh, who would later make records as
Sema and
Omni Trio),
Mental Aardvarks, and the duo of
Paul Hamilton and Joseph Duarte (who recorded one LP and a 7" as
Bombay Ducks).

Keep them coming - these obscure compilations are awesome (challenging, yes, but still great).
