Ghost Rider - First edition (labels)

Remarks

 Allegedly, a Merciful Release, but this is not true. The name of the label is FUNN.

 They released a further bootleg featuring The Sisters of Mercy, titled The Shuttered Room.

 The picture on the cover front was also used for the legendary Live In Holland bootleg.

 Several other bootlegs with a similar title to Ghost Rider do exist.

 These are listed on the Ghostrider disambiguation page.

Editions

Ghost Rider - First edition with orange vinyl

• The bootleg exists in several editions on orange, black, white, and purple vinyl.

• The first edition was limited to 500 copies of orange vinyls in cardboard covers.
  The labels have Merciful Release logos and side identifiers on both sides
  but no mention of the tracks.

• Following editions came in a copied wrap-around paper sleeve,
  some with plain white labels, others with a b/w print on the label.

• Track B2 is titled Ghostrider on the back cover of all editions,
  as this is the correct title of the song.
