Revision as of 14:56, 5 July 2018

One of the rarer 12" vinyl bootlegs featuring an incomplete recording of The Sisters of Mercy's famous final 1980ies gig at the Royal Albert Hall.

The album was released in two different covers - a white generic one with an black/white A4-xerox glued to it; and another fully printed and glossy more professional looking cover.
The first mentioned one has a text printed in Japanese characters in the lower left corner and is therefore commonly known as "the Japanese Cover".
It is also the more sought-after album of the two as it is much rarer. Nowadays it achives high prices that reach into the hundreds of Euros in the online auctions.
