Revision as of 15:52, 28 March 2016
An early bootleg LP featuring a summer festival gig of The Sisters of Mercy in 1984.
Release Notes
- Label: Planet Rock Records / P.R. Records Detroit 1984
- Catalogue#: 601, Pink.Inc.1
- Format: 12" vinyl LP
- Released: 1986
Remarks
- Because of repetitive up- and downturns of the volume itself and especially of Andrews voice the sound quality is considered to be 6.5/10.
- Black vinyl with b/w labels giving information on the tracks.
- There is no mention of the bootleg title on the labels.
The record is titled "York Racecourse", rather.
- Track B5 is spelled wrongly "Gimmie Shelter".
- The back cover states:
© 1984 P. R. RECORDS DETROIT ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
NOTE:
A sort of pre-issue item has also surfaced in an online auction.
It came in a plain white "preliminary" sleeve and stated only the bootleg title,
see the picture here on the left (please click into the file for a larger view).
Since we do not have a picture of the actual vinyl, doubts remain whether
this was not just a cover got lost under circumstances uncleared ...
Recording Source
- The tracks were recorded live at Racecourse-Festival, York, 22nd September 1984.
- The concert is incomplete: Anaconda and the Ghostrider / Sister Ray medley were also played at this event.
- At the concert the intro to Alice starts twice. Craig Adams' bass quits, then the band start again. On the record this incident is excluded.
- The first chorus from A Rock And A Hard Place is sung by Andrew with a slightly different melody.
- A bootleg CD titled Revelations exists as well, but features a different concert from the Black October Tour 1984.
