This 12" vinyl bootleg features basically two concerts from different eras of The Sisters of Mercy's evolution through their early years.
Side A contains one of their first concerts, performed in 1981 and the first one ever to be recorded, and gives - most likely 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 during the Trans-Europe Excess Tour in 1983.
