Knockin' On Docks' Door
- Detail from the tour crew credits on the back cover


A 2LP vinyl bootleg that features one of the energetic concerts during Tour Thing 1 in 1990 promoting the then new album Vision Thing.

Back in those days, The Sisters Of Mercy performed three concerts in a row at DOCKS in Hamburg on November 16th, 17th and 18th, 1990. The present 2 LP release presents the concert of the second evening.

Two songs of this concert - Ribbons and Something Fast - can also be found on side B of the 12" When You Don't See Me single .

Release Notes

  • Label: The Reptile House Ltd.
  • Format: 2 × 12" vinyl LP
  • Catalogue#: SM 901 117
  • Barcode: 0 71875 579828
  • Run out grooves: SM-901117-A to D
  • Released: 1991, although the back cover states 1990 as release date



Remarks

Copies with plain black and red labels do exist as well.
  • For the front cover artwork there was used the band photography form the single Doctor Jeep, which was released in 1991.
It was probably culled from the poster that comes with the limited 12" single, and for this reason a fine hairline is visible, just where the poster was folded.
  • Back cover notes:
Beside the usual track list, the album title, the name of the interpreter and information about the venue, there are some interesting details:
- (p) & (c) 1990 The Reptile House Ltd.
Which is not true. (Disproofed by the cover artwork)
- A long list of the tour crew (see image on the right).
We could not approve so far, if these dates are true.
- The "Reptile House Approved" logo is in bad resolution (see the image in the middle below).

A Greek box set does exist as well.

  • It is - of course - a limited edition, in this case of 10 handnumbered copies.
  • The box itself is black and has the band name, the bootleg title
and a Merciful Release Logo in golden print on front.
  • The contents are:
- the two LPs,
- a concert ticket, though not from this gig, but from Wembley,
- an insert sheet with a track list,
- a Heartland magazine,
- a Vision Thing tour programme, and
- obviously a t-shirt
  • As far as we know, this box was sold on EBAY by a Greek seller
for the first time in 2012 - 22 years after the initial release of this bootleg!!!



Source

Although it is not mentioned in the track list, the album starts with the final part of this song.
