Colours In Carnage - LP cover (front)

A live-bootleg from The Sisters 1984 Black October Tour, originally released on CD in 1990...

Release Notes

  • Label: Ghostrider Records/Duck Production
  • Format: 12" vinyl coloured 2 LP
  • Catalogue#: SOM-LP1
  • Release Date: 2002 or 2003


Remarks

  • Very good sound quality - soundboard recording
  • Issued in at least two editions, the first one of which is a limited edition of 200 copies
  • Available in 4 different colours and various combinations of these colours
    see Different Releases/Know Vinyl Colour Variations down below
  • Labels are black with only the alphabetical side numbering in a very baroque Gothic print.
    A variety with red labels on record 1 and black labels on record 2 are said to exist as well.
    Evidence for these could not be found so far.
  • Sometimes, record 1 has the labels on the wrong side.
  • The track lists for sides A-C on the cover back are wrongly shifted by one song,
    compare the track lists and the back of the cover ...
  • The production and release dates on the cover (1990/1985) do not
    reflect the actual time of release for these vinyls (2002/3).


Doktor Avalanche in malfunction

At the beginning of the opening song Burn Doktor Avalanche stops suddenly. This happens three times. So they give it a try with the next song and start to play Heartland. During the final long lasting chorus Doktor Avalanche starts to do irregular beats and the band quits the song.
Andrew comments:
"We‘ve got to attend to our machinery for a while. It's deedless.”
Then someone else on stage comments:
“Listen! You can get these songs the right way and you can get them the wrong way. If you wait ten minutes, we'll get them the right way. So I suggest, you shut up for a while and talk amongst yourselves!"
The (ten) minutes that it took to attend to Doktor Avalanche are omitted on the record.
They start to play the whole song Burn and a Heartland reprise - just the last verse and the final chorus. After this, the concert goes on in the usual way, in terms of the machinery.
