The longstanding UK label World Serpent has ceased trading. One of the artists distributed by WSD was Current 93. David Tibet has found a solution for his resulting financial problems:
“I will be selling my house, signed and numbered 1 of 1 copy, on eBay in the near future, with bids starting at ?93,939.93 pence. Internal circular plaques will point out where I sat, defecated and talked to myself whilst wildly gesturing at the sunset and unicorns; an inverted triangular plaque will mark where Steven and I fell out so badly we will never work again or speak to each other again. Furthermore, I will be leaving a copy of an unreleased C93 double album from 1995, ‘Black Ships Ate the Sky’, in a cavity in the house with a plan hidden in the garden to both find it and to give the successful house buyer full rights to release it.”
