Remarks

  • The cover of this particular tape consists of black paper with purple and golden print and the Merciful Release logo.
  • A small b/w photo, taken at the concert, is added to the cassette.
  • There is no indication, whatsoever, that this half-way official looking cassette bootleg was bought and sold
    at a regular record shop of the time. However, such tapes were commonly found on informal record markets.
  • Anyway, this recording was spread by unofficial traders among the international fanbase, (see the pictures below).
  • At least two audience recordings from this concert are known to exist as well, both of which also of very high sound quality.
