Studio outtakes on a 7" single recorded in spring 1981 between the releases of "The Damage Done" and "Body Electric" singles.
Originally, these demos were circulated by The Sisters of Mercy in order to aquire support slots. The bootleg is commonly known
and listed in several discographies and reviews as Floorshow EP. This title is derived from the "Floor Show" print appearing on the
labels from the first re-issue on. Basically, four different releases exist:

Teachers and Adrenochrome are segued in the same way the line-up played the songs live.
There are two different packagings of this record with the (same) cover photo and text in either orange or white on black.
The white ones have the Merciful Release Logo on one side of the label, as per the early releases;
the orange ones have a label that says Promotion copy. Not for sale." and have cat.no. KROL 3213.
Limited edition of 500/1000. Quality of the recording is very good.
