Revision as of 09:17, 18 September 2016
A 12" vinyl bootleg, that was recorded live during the Trans-Europe Excess tour in 1983.
At that time - only few months before the release of the single Temple Of Love - The Sisters Of Mercy were performing this song at some of their gigs; not at every concert, but at least at some. Later Temple Of Love was hardly heard during their live performances, not until the Tour Thing 1 in the early 90ies.
To have one of these versions featured on a bootleg, were always a plain enrichment for the product and examples such as The Lights Shine Clear Through The Sodium Haze, Through The Years, Tender Mercies, Possession or the single ECHOES VOL 1 confirm this evidence, as they were already sought-after from the day of their release.
Concluding, although Side B has a very short, even disappointing, running time, Side A is a very interesting collection of songs, especially for the presence of the before mentioned Temple Of Love.
