Weird Tales - Cover (front)

The Sisters concerts of August 11th, 1983 and August 12th, 1983 were recorded from the audience.

At least four or five recordings of the first one do exist, not all of them complete.

Beyond that, this concert, or parts of it, rather, is featured on the vinyl bootlegs

Weird Tales, ECHOES VOL. 1 as well as on the ECHOES VOL. I CD.

It is not known, which recording(s) was/were used for these bootlegs.

For recordings of August 12th, 1983 see down below.


1. Audience Recording
This recording is incomplete and often comes together with the second recording on one cassette. Between the two,
there is a short cut in the middle of Emma, after which the song continues in audibly improved sound quality.

• Version: KEND

• Format: Cassette

• Sound Quality: 2/3

• Tracks: Kiss The Carpet / Anaconda / Alice / Burn / Emma only partly / (cut)

• Sound Example: Eldritch talking between Alice and Burn

ECHOES VOL.1 - 7" Cover (front)

2. Audience Recording
This is a brilliant audience recording, but it is incomplete and therefore mostly delivered on one cassette
with the above mentioned not so good take in order to give a full rendition of the gig.

• Tracks: (cut) / Emma (partly) / Valentine / Heartland / Adrenochrome / Floorshow / Body Electric
