- Issued in two editions

- It comes with plain white labels on the vinyls.
- There are plenty mistakes on the backsleeve of both editions:
- - Marian is spelled Marianne
- - A Rock And A Hard Place is not mentioned
- - Train is listed as Dreams
- - Floorshow is given as Floor Show
- - Knockin' On Heaven's Door is spelled Knocking On Heavens Door.
- Anyway, this bootleg is Dedicated to all the Sister lovers.
- The second edition has the bandname spelt wrongly Sisters of Mersey
- This edition does also come with phantasy track titles and the wrongly spelt name
- on the labels (see the track list and the pictures of the labels down below).
- Where the first edition has a black sticker on the cover back,
- giving the day and place of the recording - "Stuttgart, Maxim, November 12, 1984"
- the second edition has the very same information just printed on the back of the cover.
NOTE:
There are several further bootlegs with a more or less similar title such as
- Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Emma, a 7" vinyl bootleg
- also known as In Concert At The Royal Albert Hall
- Knocking On Heaven's Door, a CD bootleg included in the Family Tree 8CD Box Set
- Knockin' On Docks' Door, a 2LP vinyl bootleg
- recorded live at Docks, Hamburg on November 17th, 1990
- More recently, a CD-version of the present bootleg has surfaced in online auctions,
- most likely a rip from the LP, see the picture on the right side.
