Black October - Black and red labels of first edition

Recorded live during the Black October Tour at the Top Rank, Brighton, UK on 22.10.1984.

Release Notes

• Label: Merciful Release (allegedly)

• Catalogue#: MRT033-T, MSR-63, L-29797

• Format: 2 LP

• Date of Release: 1987

Remarks

• The album starts with an excerpt of the song Perfect Day of Lou Reed which appears on his second solo album Transformer.

The playback crystallizes from the crowd noise and fades over into the opening track Burn.

• Notably, the last song of the concert Sister Ray is missing in this recording.

• Available in two editions

• First edition:

Based on a soundboard recording

Labels on record one are red, labels on record two are black.

• Second edition:

Identical cover as the fist edition.

Poor sound quality. There are up and down turns of the volume, sometimes one channel hushes and there are even skips and bucles as if the needle of the turntable were jumping. Probably it is a sloppy copy from the vinyl of the first edition.

Record one has white labels and the labels of record two are clear beige, nearly white.

Backsleeve-Notes
