A Black Pack - Cover (front)
A Black Pack - Cover (back)


A double-LP vinyl bootleg combining live recordings and radio sessions.

A Black Pack - First edition with blue labels

Release Notes

  • Label: Observation Records / KTFB Records
  • Catalogue#: 35190 BP / PS
  • Format: 2 x 12" LP
  • Released: 1986


Sources


Personnel according to the cover back

  • Wayne Hussey - Guitar
    This is, however, only true for tracks A1 - B6 and D1 - D3
    as Hussey joined the band only in April 1984.
A Black Pack - First edition with rather greenish labels


Remarks

  • Exists in two editons on black vinyl
  • The original edition labels are blue with an eye in the centre and give track and other information.
  • "Observation Records / SACEM" is noted as record label on the vinyl labels,
    while the cover back sleeve states " © & ℗ KTFB Records/Observation Records"
  • Some of these labels display a very greenish blue rather, while others do not.
  • The records are listed on the cover back as
    - RECORD ONE: BLACK OCTOBER and
    - RECORD TWO: PSYCHEDELIC SESSIONS
  • Indeed, another bootleg-LP titled Psychedelic Sessions
    and featuring the same tracks as on Record Two was also released by KTFB Records in 1986.


  • A reissue with plain yellow labels on Record One and plain white labels on Record Two do exist as well.
  • Record One of this edition was obviously available in higher numbers than Record Two
    - maybe due to the release of Psychedelic Sessions as mentioned before.
    The surplus copies were later on made use of for an alleged fanclub bootleg release titled House Of Reptiles.
A Black Pack - Reissue with plain yellow and plain white labels


The songtitles on the cover back are partly wrong:

A2 - Adrenochrome    -    SISTERS OF MERCY
A3 - Ghostrider    -    GHOST RIDER
A4 - Burn    -    RAPTILE HOUSE
B3 - Anaconda    -    SHE WILL
B5 - Marian    -    MARIANNE
D3 - Emma    -    EMMALINE
D4 - Gimme Shelter    -    GIMMIE SHELTER
D5 - Adrenochrome    -    SISTERS OF MERCY

 D4 - D5 are credited wrongly to the John Peel Session in 1984.
