In the history of bootlegs of The Sisters Of Mercy it's been relatively common that two existent vinyl bootlegs were combined into one to form a "new" double album.
Productions like these are for example A Black Pack, Kings And Queen or The Dark, which was released as a three record box even.
The present release is a similar case, and it was produced in the cheapest possible way.
The two records of this album are left-over vinyls of the bootlegs Ice To The Eskimos and The Garden Of Delight from the same Australian manufacturer. The bundle was first issued with white vinyls coming in a generic white cover with two inlays for the front and the back cover, respectively.
After selling this low budget release as a first edition, the second one came with green vinyls in a printed cover showing the same cover art in green on a black background.
Meanwhile, both cover versions have been seen with both colours of vinyl, not mixed, though.
The proof of the above circumstances shows in the identical run-outs, labels and vinyl colours.
Also the bootlegger mentioned in online auctions, that this release
"CONTAINS THE LIVE IN NETHERLANDS 1984 LP AS LP 1 AND GARDEN OF DELIGHT AS LP2, REPACKAGED AS THIS",
while claiming the whole thing were an "ULTRA RARE USA 2LP" ...
Release Notes
- Label: Black Planet Music
- Catalogue#: none
- Format: 2 × 12" vinyl LP
- Released: 2018 (Australia)
- Run outs:
- Record one:
- Record two: GOD-01-A/B
Remarks
- There are two editions:
- The first edition comes with a white generic cover containing two inlays printed only on one sided,
- so that they can be fixed to the sleeve as the front and back cover .
- The two vinys are white. And on the cover front of these editions is also a printed sticker saying:
- "Limited Edition White Vinyl"
- The second edition consits initially of two clear green vinyls, which are housed in a black sleeve with green print.
- Despite the different colours, the cover artwork is the same as used for the first edition.
- Later on the vinyl colours were changed according to the stock of records that remained from the before mentioned two LP's.
- The labels of all editions show a white head and star logo on black background
- with "SIDE A/B", respectively, printed in also white letters below it.
- There is no hint, though, to whether you're holding record one or record two in your hands
- which again is another logical result from the fact that these records were initially
- sold individually as "Ice To The Eskimo" and "The Garden Of Delight", respectively.
- Back cover notes, beside the track list:
- SIDE A & B RECORDED LIVE IN THE NETHERLANDS 26. 5. 1984
