The list was expanded with Nurse with Wound's second album, To the Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl (1980).

The list was compiled by the original Nurse with Wound trio of Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill, and Heman Pathak. It was intended as a homage to the artists who influenced the Nurse with Wound project.Face Out, 8, March 1981Bugbee, Tim. Steve Stapleton (Nurse with Wound) – Part Two The Big Takeover, 30 August 2008 It has since become a type of 'shopping list' for collectors of outsider and avant-garde music.

Given their obscurity, some of the artists named on the list have been a mystery for many collectors.Alan & Steve Freeman. Audion Guide to Nurse with Wound. July 1994 (Revised 2005) Stapleton has even boasted that some of the names on the list were invented,Keenan, David. The Wire #160, June 1997 a statement denied by John Fothergill.Keenan, David.
