A vinyl LP from the 1980ies released in three covers editions, the latter of which in at least six different pressings (vinyl colours). The bootleg features selected live tracks from two concerts by The Sisters of Mercy in Bremen, one from November 1984 and the other one from May 1985, and the two main songs from The Sisters of Mercy's first single The Damage Done as opening tracks. All three versions share the same tracklist and title, while the covers look entirely different and might give rise to the impression of completely different releases. However, the unlike designs on front of the covers have one detail in common: all the pictures show a religous motive.
Remarks
- All editions name the band as "Sisters of Mercy", omitting the article.
- The content is the same as on record two of the 2LP bootleg Kings And Queen.
- The intro to Knockin' On Heaven's Door consists of a short version of Fix, which is not mentioned on any of the covers.
- When Doktor Avalanche starts the main song, a shout from the audience can be heard: "We will, we will rock you".
- As the rhythm is very similar to the according Queen song, this has an amusing effect.
Sources
- Watch and The Damage Doneare studio outtakes from the The Damage Done single.
- They appear in reversed order on the records, but not in the cover tracklists.
- All the live tracks were recorded from the audience at Kulturzentrum Schlachthof in Bremen;
- Burn and Ghostrider / Sister Ray were recorded live on 8 November 1984;
- Logic, Fix / Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Gimme Shelter, Train and Emma were recorded live on 10 May 1985.
