Today is WSM’s Birthday!
WSM celebrates 35 years of continuous trading
We are the oldest WAM business in the world!

When did WSM Productions commence?
It started under the name of WET SHOTS just selling slide sets.
John Swindail from Stoke-on-Trent and Mike Ellison entered into a partnership from 1st October 1981.
The first retail sale of £63.03 was banked 3rd December 1981 at Barclays Bank, 36 Town Road, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent.
And did the world embrace this new concept of slide images?
With sales of £6,170 to 30th September 1982, in a world without any internet……I would say they did!
So our birth date is 3rd December 1981.
By 1984 we had changed our name to WSM Productions.
And today sees 35 continuous years of trading for WSM Productions.

Our first movie started filming 18th August 1985.
The result was the first commercially produced WAM video.
This was ‘The Hopeful Starlet’which is still available in the ‘Online Store’ under Digital Download – Vintage Films (Vintage Film 1).
You wish to know how the WAM movie business commenced? Well here it is in our image sets and Digital Downloads!

WSM Productions has changed from April 2015 moving from a Subscription based website to a Download website.
Why did that happen?
Customers indicated their choice for Downloads rather than Subscriptions.
Crazy to me (Mike Ellison), but figures represent reality and the Subscription site did go into decline.
The change from Subscription to Downloads was followed by the sale of the business in November 2015.
Mike Ellison still writes this weekly column because he enjoys it and also needs to eliminate debt.
But in case you wonder what may happen should Mike Ellison be unable to continue, a writing successor has already been named to our principal.

We have just taken stock and have the following unpublished movies:
49 WSM
42 Custard Couple (CC) with many of these CC movies having XXX content.
So does that answer your question about our future?
And who else bothers to publish a forward program of 6 weeks?
But we are only as good as our customer orders.

WSM Productions has been preserved for posterity.
Being available is one thing.
Being in demand and receiving orders is quite another.
But today to celebrate our 35th Birthday, we salute our great associates Custard Couple (CC).

SUBSCRIPTION WEBSITE

For members of our Subscription site, we today add two further image sets on our 35th Birthday.
How do you start to build a collection of WSM material when virtually nothing exists?
One way is to commission a shoot.
So it was in 1980 that a Wet then Muddy shoot was commissioned.
Life is a learning experience.
So why wait until now to show you our first commissioned Wet and Muddy image sets?
It is all about getting what you want!
I am afraid that these two sets were well wide of the mark.
It all leads to a realization that there was only one way out of this dilemma!
Do it yourself!!
So 35 years on, we can show you how it started to come about.
But seriously, would you have started a business featuring these two image sets?
So here are the two commissioned sets of Natasha.

WETLOOK
1980 Image set W005 Natasha in lake has 36 images.
We show you 3 sample shots from this set.

For all members of the Subscription site these sets are at no extra cost.
The above sets of Natasha are available on our Subscription site with 239 movies plus a further 400 image sets.
We still take Subscriptions to our Website - Memberships extending for up to 6 months are available.
