World Serpent Distribution 

Hi 

I see my revisions of the WSD page were undone in preference older page.
The information on the current page is full of misinformation and untruths regarding WSD.
The company was never bankrupt and neither were any of the 3 Directors associated with it.
There was never any court case either.
It is a real pity that nearly 10 yeas after WSD closed down, nobody has bothered to check Companies House or the Royal Courts of Justice.
WSD ceased trading in August 2004, with all stock being returned and delivered to all the artists/bands who requested it.
Some chose to collect in person, some decided not to bother!
For a more accurate portrayal on WSD maybe reference the following:
www.headheritage.co.uk from August 30th 2004 a statement from David Tibet of Current 93.

World Serpent: The Carnival is Over

The past and the future

THE PAST (bad trip): As many of you may have heard by now, World Serpent Distribution have ceased trading.

Current 93 and Nurse With Wound, as well as many other groups, have worked with them almost exclusively since 1989. We felt a great closeness with all three of them: Alison Webster, David Gibson and Alan Trench, and they were both our colleagues and our friends. We are very proud of all the work we did together and the beautiful material and editions we issued with and through them. We would like to thank them for all that they have done on our behalf and wish them the best of luck with their futures, and hope we shall all keep in touch remembering the halcyon days and not the unsettled end.
Also Alan Trench's interview for African Paper from March 2012 available online where he expands on the aborted legal action by douglas pearce.
All i was trying to do was redress the balance, as looking at a completely inaccurate and misleading page on WSD is somewhat sad.
I don't think for one minute this will make a difference but if it does then it will go someway to redressing a great injustice.
They deserve better!
Thanks
Reiner
