A Black Pack - Cover (front)
A Black Pack - Cover (back)


A double-LP vinyl bootleg combining live recordings and radio sessions.

A Black Pack - First edition with blue labels


Release Notes

  • Label: Observation Records / KTFB Records
  • Catalogue#: 35190 BP / PS
  • Format: 2 x 12" LP
  • Released: 1986


Sources

A Black Pack - First edition with rather greenish labels


Personnel according to the cover back

  • Wayne Hussey - Guitar
    This is, however, only true for tracks A1 - B6 and D1 - D3
    as Hussey joined the band only in April 1984.
A Black Pack - Spine


Remarks

  • Exists in two editons on black vinyl
  • The original edition labels are blue with an eye in the centre and give track and other information.
  • "Observation Records / SACEM" is noted as record label on the vinyl labels,
    while the cover back sleeve states " © & ℗ KTFB Records/Observation Records"
  • Some of these labels display a very greenish blue rather, while others do not.
  • The records are listed on the cover back as
    - RECORD ONE: BLACK OCTOBER and
    - RECORD TWO: PSYCHEDELIC SESSIONS
  • Indeed, another bootleg-LP titled Psychedelic Sessions
    and featuring the same tracks as on Record Two was also released by KTFB Records in 1986.


  • The reissue comes with plain yellow labels on Record One and plain white ones on Record Two.
A Black Pack - Reissue with plain yellow and plain white labels
  • Record One of that edition was obviously available in higher numbers than Record Two
    - maybe due to the release of Psychedelic Sessions as mentioned before.
    The surplus copies were later used of for an alleged fanclub bootleg release titled House Of Reptiles.


The songtitles on the cover back of both issues are partly wrong:

A2 - Adrenochrome    -    SISTERS OF MERCY
A3 - Ghostrider    -    GHOST RIDER
A4 - Burn    -    RAPTILE HOUSE
B3 - Anaconda    -    SHE WILL
B5 - Marian    -    MARIANNE
D3 - Emma    -    EMMALINE
D4 - Gimme Shelter    -    GIMMIE SHELTER
D5 - Adrenochrome    -    SISTERS OF MERCY

 D4 - D5 are credited wrongly to the John Peel Session in 1984.
