I Can't Await To Meet My Deadly Friends
File:I Can't Await To See My Deadly Friends 1st Front.jpg I Can't Await To Meet My Deadly Friends - 1st Edition (front) |
A vinyl LP from the 1980ies released with three different covers and six consecutive pressings. The botleg features selected live tracks from two concerts by The Sisters of Mercy in Bremen, one from November 1984 and the other one from May 1985, and the two main songs from The Sisters of Mercy's first single The Damage Done as opening tracks. All three version share the same tracklist and title, while the covers looks entirely different and might five rise to the impression they were completely different releases. However, the unlike designs on front of these covers have one detail in common: all the pictures show a religous motive.

General Remarks
- It is the same content as the second disc of the 2LP bootleg "Kings And Queen".
- The intro to Knockin' On Heaven's Door consists of a short version of Fix.
- When Doktor Avalanche started the main song, someone in the audience shouted "We will, we will rock you".
- As the rhythm is very similar to the according [Queen song], this has an amusing effect.
- All editions name the band as "Sisters of Mercy", omitting the article.
- The live tracks were recorded from the audience.
