Release Notes

• Label: Kiss The Stone Records (KTS)
• Catalogue#: KTS021
• Format: CD
• Date and Place of Release: 1991 (Italy)

Source

• Possibly an Audience Recording (incomplete)

(we're just checking that ...)

• The tape used for the KTS release is a good stereo recording, a bit too fast.

• Breaks between the encores are cut out.

• The last two songs, He's Got The Whole World In His Hands and 1969 are omitted.

Remark:
This festival is the only time ever The Sisters of Mercy played He's Got The Whole World In His Hands.

Unfortunately, you will not find this song on the present release. It is, however, included in the Brothers And Sisters bootleg from the same event.

In addition, a 7" bootleg single box was issued, see Live Reading 91 Box
