Common Details For All The Releases Mentioned In This Page

  • Produced and directed
    by Mike Mansfield


Another DVD-bootleg of Wake; this time from the Russian MUZ label


NOTE:
There are several further DVD-video bootlegs featuring this concert like for example the one
here on the left by the Russian MUZ Records label. This edition has probably been issued
around 2010. Obviously, the bootleggers did not care at all, who was member of the band
at the time of the original release and who was not.

Possibly, Wake was so often bootlegged because it marked the end of The Sisters of Mercy's
First And Last And Always line-up. Anyway, it was an exceptionally
great concert, and the sound quality of the original is very good.
