A live 7" bootleg single featuring various covers
played by The Sisters of Mercy.
The bootleg is mostly famous, though, for the
recording of Andrew Eldritch and Wayne Hussey
joining the Skeletal Family on stage at
Markthalle in Hamburg in September 1985.
Together, they performed a unique version of
Knockin' On Heaven's Door - at a moment in
time and history when The Sisters of Mercy had
already played their famous last gig at the Royal
Albert Hall in London, UK and shortly before the
eventual break-up of the band.
