A 2LP vinyl bootleg that features one of the energetic concerts during Tour Thing 1 in 1990,
promoting the then newly released Vision Thing album .
Back in those days, The Sisters Of Mercy performed three concerts in a row at DOCKS in Hamburg
(Eldritch's temporary home at the time) on November 16th, 17th and 18th, 1990.
The present 2 LP release gives a full recording of the second gig.
Beyond that, and more importantly, two songs from this concert - Ribbons and Something Fast -
were later used for side B of the official 12" When You Don't See Me single .
Release Notes
- Label: The Reptile House Ltd.
- Format: 2 × 12" vinyl LP
- Catalogue#: SM 901 117
- Barcode: 0 71875 579828
- Run out grooves: SM-901117-A to D
- Released: 1991, however, the back cover states
- 1990 as the year of release
Remarks
- Black vinyls with Merciful Release logo on black background, numbered by letters.
- Copies with plain black and red labels do exist as well.
- The front coverart shows the same band photo that was used for the Doctor Jeep single, also released in 1991.
- It was possibly taken from the poster coming with the according Doctor Jeep 12" limited-edition single,
- and for this reason, a fine hairline is visible just where the poster was folded.
Back Cover Remarks
- Besides the usual track list, the album title, the band name, and some information on the venue,
- there are further interesting details listed on the cover back:
- - ℗ & © 1990 The Reptile House Ltd.
- - a full list of the tour crew (see the image on the right) taken from the Vision Thing Tour Programme.
- - a "Reptile House Approved" logo in shoddy resolution, (see the image in the middle below).
- Alice and Amphetamine Logic are confused with each other in the track list.
Source
- Recorded live on November 17th, 1990 at DOCKS, Hamburg, Germany
- As usual for Tour Thing 1, the intro of the gig was a playback of Afterhours.
- Although, it is not mentioned in the track list, the album does start with the final notes of this song.
For recent price developments see sistersbootlegs/knockindocksdoors
A Greek box set does exist as well.
- The box set is - of course - an allegedly limited edition,
- in this case of 10 hand-numbered copies.
- The box itself is black and has the band name, the bootleg title
- and a Merciful Release Logo as a golden deco print on the front
- all of which has definitely nothing to do with The Sisters of Mercy
- but is used to fake up an official appearance.
The contents of this box set are:
- the two LPs;
- a concert ticket, though not from this gig, but from Wembley;
- a hand-numbered insert sheet with a track list;
- a Heartland magazine - it is not clear, however, which edition it is;
- a Vision Thing tour programme;
- and obviously a t-shirt.
The box was sold on eBay by a Greek seller for the first time in 2012 - 22 years after the initial release of this bootleg!!! ... and no further copy has surfaced ever since...
