A 2LP vinyl bootleg that features one of the energetic concerts during Tour Thing 1 in 1990 promoting the then new album Vision Thing.
Back in those days, The Sisters Of Mercy performed three concerts in a row at DOCKS in Hamburg on November 16th, 17th and 18th, 1990. The present 2 LP release presents the concert of the second evening.
Two songs of this concert - Ribbons and Something Fast - can also be found on side B of the 12" When You Don't See Me single .
Release Notes
- Label: The Reptile House Ltd.
- Format: 2 × 12" vinyl LP
- Catalogue#: SM 901 117
- Barcode: 0 71875 579828
- Run out grooves: SM-901117-A to D
- Released: 1991, although the back cover states 1990 as release date
Remarks
- Black vinyls with Merciful Release logo on black background, numbered by letters.
- Copies with plain black and red labels do exist as well.
- For the front cover artwork there was used the band photography form the single Doctor Jeep, which was released in 1991.
- It was probably culled from the poster that comes with the limited 12" single, and for this reason a fine hairline is visible, just where the poster was folded.
- Alice and Amphetamine Logic are permuted in the track list.
- Back cover notes:
- Beside the usual track list, the album title, the name of the interpreter and information about the venue, there are some interesting details:
- - (p) & (c) 1990 The Reptile House Ltd.
- Which is not true. (Disproofed by the cover artwork)
- - A long list of the tour crew (see image on the right).
- We could not approve so far, if these dates are true.
- - The "Reptile House Approved" logo is in bad resolution (see the image in the middle below).
A Greek box set does exist as well.
- It is - of course - a limited edition, in this case of 10 handnumbered copies.
- The box itself is black and has the band name, the bootleg title
- and a Merciful Release Logo in golden print on front.
- The contents are:
- - the two LPs,
- - a concert ticket, though not from this gig, but from Wembley,
- - an insert sheet with a track list,
- - a Heartland magazine,
- - a Vision Thing tour programme, and
- - obviously a t-shirt
- As far as we know, this box was sold on EBAY by a Greek seller
- for the first time in 2012 - 22 years after the initial release of this bootleg!!!
Source
- Recorded live on November 17th, 1990 at DOCKS, Hamburg, Germany
- As usual for Tour Thing 1, the intro of the gig was a playback of Afterhours.
- Although it is not mentioned in the track list, the album starts with the final part of this song.
