A two-LP bootleg recorded live during the Black October Tour in 1984.
One of the concerts with plenty comments from Andrew Eldritch between songs.
This vinyl bootleg is an "anomaly" with regard to the sound quality of the two existing editions.
Only very few bootlegs (if any) show such a tremendous difference in sound quality between editions
as is the case here, so that it seems, in fact, reasonable to assume that the second pressing
is just a low-quality fake of the original.
Release Notes
- Label: Merciful Release (allegedly)
- Catalogue#: MRT033-T, MSR-63, L-29797
- Format: 2 LP
- Date of Release: 1987
Remarks
- The concert starts with an excerpt of the song Perfect Day by Lou Reed from his album Transformer.
- This playback crystallizes from the crowd noise and fades over into the opening track Burn.
- Notably, the last song of the actual concert, Sister Ray, is not featured on this bootleg.
Backsleeve-Notes
- Special Thanx To "The Phantom Twins"
- but this does not mean, the item were a Palazzograssi produce!
- Keep Watching the Western Sky
- A Merciful Release - not true, either
This vinyl bootleg is available in two editions:
First edition:
- Audibly based on a soundboard recording.
- The labels on record one are plain red,
- the labels of record two are fully black.
- The runout grooves are MSR-63-A to D
- plus some further symbols that are crossed out.
Second edition:
- The cover is nearly identical to the first edition. Only the colour of the track list differs slightly.
- The letters of the 1st edition are dark pink or rather purple, while the letter of this edition are pink.
- The sound quality is rather poor and disappointing.
- There are up and down turns of the volume, one channel is even silent at times.
- Skips and bucles, as if the needle had been jumping on the turntable while ripping,
- make it seem likely that this second edition is just a sloppy copy taken from the vinyl of the first edition.
- Record one has plain white labels and the labels of record two are plain beige, nearly white.
- The runout grooves are SOM-001-A to D.
See the pictures below for more details.
