I managed to come across someone (a 11-year hurdle) and persuade to rip a tape from Justin Broadrick's first label, Post Mortem Rekordings from his teenage years before joining Napalm Death. First ever occasion I've even seen such a tape to actually exist...

It was recorded much earlier and Justin found the reel-to-reel and put it out.

Confirmed by Andy Swan (Final, Khost) who ran the label with Broadrick and recommended the artist name FERN. Even he hadn't heard this in 35 years...
