Revision as of 01:14, 23 December 2018

A 12" vinyl bootleg that features selected live cuts, quotes and snippets of interviews with Andrew Eldritch recorded during the early 1980s.

The distibution of this item was organized in a way totally different from conventional bootlegs so far. A quiz about The Sisters of Mercy was added as the inlay to the record. By using the services of modern internet sites, which was in first place the crowdsourced database Discogs, web site users could gain one copy for free by answering the questions in the quiz correctly.


Release Notes

• Label: rhay creations

• Catalogue#: rhay 13

• Format: 12" vinyl LP

• Released: 2018

• Production Note: Lathe Cut

Remarks

• Strictly limited to 20 copies, not numbered.

• The vinyl is clear and fully transparent.

• The labels show a dark cloudy landscape with the word "MASTERPLAN" in big, white letters

across the middle and the catalogue# in smaller, but also white letters below.

Both labels are identical and give no information about the actual side of the record.

• The bootleg comes with a black ribbon that holds a black envelope to the cover.

The envelope is sealed with white sealing wax and contains a dedication postcard,

a letter and the rhay creation mail order sheet.

• The vinyl is stored in a thick printed inner sleeve accompanied by the above-mentioned inlay.

• The catalogue# got messed up. The labels note correctly "rhay 13", just as in the mail order form,

but the postcards, the inner sleeves and the inlays state wrongly "rhay 15" as the catalogue#.

The Quiz

These are the questions and their solutions that compose the four letter code:

• The first letter of the second word that Andrew says just at the beginning of the gig in Nijmegen, Spring Tour 1984?

Andrew says "Hello there", so the letter is "T". You can proof it on this site.

• The tenth letter of the name of the first 12" bootleg of the Sisters Of Mercy ever, released way back in 1984?

It is the Psychedelic Session LP, so the letter is "I". Look it up on this site.

• The fourth letter of the run-out groove on side A of the Anaconda 7" (the additional word to "A PORKY PRIME CUT")?

The Word is "NOTHING", so the word is "H". Check it on Discogs.

• The letter after the hyphen in the number of years of "Ever after ever more more more" at the 2nd gig ever in Stockholm?

Andrew sings at this concert twenty-six years, so the letter is "S". You can read it on this site.

• According to this the four letter code results in T-H-I-S or S-H-I-T the other way round.

The worldwide distribution finalised this way:
