7" single with studio outtakes recorded in spring 1981 between the releases of "The Damage Done" and "Body Electric" singles.
These demos were circulated by The Sisters of Mercy in order to aquire support slots. On the other hand, they were to have been done in first instance for an official Floorshow EP release which never came to see the light of day. Anyway, this bootleg is now commonly known and listed in several discographies and reviews as Floorshow EP while the title derives here from the "Floor Show" print appearing on the labels of the re-issues. The labels of the first edition were marked by a Merciful Release print in large letters. High quality recording.
Basically, four different releases exist:
