Mariann - Knocking On Heaven's Door - 7" Vinyl Cover (front)


A 7" vinyl bootleg from the 1980s. Because of the wrongly spelled song titles on the cover and the labels,

this bootleg is also known as Mariann - Knocking On Heaven's Door, and due to the lack of an obvious title

and the word "Staple" on the labels it is sometimes called Staple as well.

  • More extended recordings from both these concerts are available on the bootleg LP and/or CD Opus Dei,
which, btw, shows the same photos, same line-up and same spelling mistakes on its back cover.
(Maybe one reason why the present 7" is also referred to as "Opus Dei Single".
