Half Moon Over Amsterdam - Cover (front)


Release Notes

  • Label: Condor Records
  • Catalogue#: unknown
  • Format: 12" Vinyl LP
  • Released: not before 1988


Remarks

  • Released in different editions with either plain yellow, plain red, or plain green labels.
  • The back of the cover names Wayne Hussey as a guitar player, though at the time of this gig Ben Gunn
    was still in the band. Hussey didn´t join the band before 1984 and made his debut in April the same year.
  • Because of the picture on the cover front this bootleg has been banned from some marketplaces.



NOTE:

titled.Gods of Earth & Heaven and released in Los Angeles in 1988.
reformulated in the typical, morbid style of Joel-Peter Witkin, see the two pictures down below...
  • For unknown reasons the bootleg cover shows the photograph in a mirror inverted view.



Sources

  • The back of the cover states "Live 28.3.83 Paradiso, Amsterdam" as time and place of this concert.
    In reality the gig took place on August, 28th, 1983.
  • Plenty other bootlegs have been created from this soundboard recording.
    A list of them can be found here .
