This 12" live bootleg was first released as Live In Hull 1983 and then reisssued as A Fire In The Hull. It is very obvious, that the first issue was the prototype for the second one.
The record contains a soundboard recording
from the last concert of The Sisters of Mercy's
UK Spring Tour 1983 in Hull PLUS further
two songs from the according soundcheck.
The peculiarity of this bootleg - aside from
the really good sound quality of the recording -
is that a lot of songs were played out of tune
and sometimes even messed up.
With the exception of Doktor Avalanche
all members of the band are mistaken at times
during the performance.
Nowadays we can't say why, but we consider that
it was the last concert of the tour held in the
hometown of `Gary Marx and these circumstances
might have given rise to this "dissonance".
However, it seems that the audience were enjoying the concert and so can do the listener of this bootleg as well.
