Revision as of 01:33, 29 January 2013
Heaven Can Wait features an incomplete bootleg recording from
The Sisters of Mercy's concert at King George's Hall, Blackburn in 1985.
This was the only gig where The Sisters of Mercy performed Stairway To Heaven with lyrics.
On a few other occasions, Stairway To Heaven was played as an instrumental introduction
to their Sister Ray / Ghostrider medleys.
After this gig, since Andrew Eldritch had forgotten (or just didn't know) the words,
The Sisters of Mercy never performed this song live again.
The concert ended, however, in one of The Sisters' famous medleys.

- Released in two limited editions.

This one is limited to 500 copies. Some copies come with a track list on a separate inlay sheet.
- The colour of the cover of the second edition is hard to tell. In some pictures it looks greenish,
