Kings And Queen
A double LP bootleg of mixed content.
The first record includes the four songs performed at the Kid Jensen Show, though not in the order of their recording. These songs were first broadcast on 10 March, 1983 and repeated on April 11th. The rest of the songs on this record come from official releases in the early years.
The second record 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.

- and printed red or blue labels on the other record exist as well.
- The band is named as "Sisters of Mercy", omitting the article.
- The cover art shows a detail from the doorframe of the main entrance of the Cathedral Notre-Dame de Chartres. The figures are considered to be (from left to right) Queen of Sheba, King David and King Solomon, three characters of the Old Testament; two kings and one queen.
- The content of the first record is identical to the bootleg Don Juan.
- The content of the second record is identical to the bootleg I Can't Await To Meet My Deadly Friends.
