ECHOES VOL 3 (12")
From SistersWiki.org - The Sisters Of Mercy Fan Wiki
ECHOES is a series of four vinyl bootlegs with live and demo material. The first one was put out as a 7” single, while the others - including the present one - were released in 12” format. All of them maintain the same front coverart in different colours. Insofar, see also Echoes Vol 1, Echoes Vol 2, Echoes Vol 4.
For further information on the front coverart see especially Echoes Vol 1.
An ECHOES CD-series does exist as well but with different content and with a different appearance.
