This 12" bootleg features basically two concerts of The Sisters of Mercy from different eras of the bands evolution through their early days.
Side A contains one of the first concerts ever, that was performed in 1981, and gives - as a further incentive - a 1984 version of The Sisters cover of Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, a track that went down very well with the audiences at the time, but was performed live only on very few occasions.
Side B features part of a concert at Odeon, Münster, Germany in 1983 during the Trans-Europe Excess Tour.
