Revision as of 01:18, 28 July 2018
Merciful Release is a record label of sorts. No one say "vanity publishing". Kinda worked out well, though.
The present list is just an overview and does not detail all different formats, promos, re-issues and re-releases of these items.

Unrelated Releases
NOTE: This band and their release are in no way connected with The Sisters of Mercy and their very own label Merciful Release.
The identical name of the label and the similar catalogue numbers are the result of a most unusual but mere coincidence.
