Electric Garden - Cover (front)
Electric Garden - Cover (back)


A 12" vinyl bootleg from the 1990ies ...

There is however not much known about this release, though the whole production seems to be relatively low-level with badly glued covers showing the logo in home-printer quality of back in those years.

The centre-hole of some of the vinyls is slightly too small.

Also the reproduced audience recording is rather flat and shows some up and downs of the volume regulation, which finally gives the impression of an average sound quality of the end-product.

And that's a pity, because the worth of the musical contain of the present bootleg with regard to the chronicle of music of the Sisters of Mercy and the bands history is definitely invaluable.

Read more further down in the section of "Remarks".
