Floorshow EP
From SistersWiki.org - The Sisters Of Mercy Fan Wiki
7" single with studio outtakes recorded in spring 1981 between the releases of "The Damage Done" and "Body Electric" singles.
Originally, these demos were circulated by The Sisters of Mercy in order to aquire support slots. The bootleg is commonly known
and listed in several discographies and reviews as Floorshow EP. This title is derived from the "Floor Show" print appearing on the
labels of the re-issues. The labels of the first edition were marked by a Merciful Release print in large letters. High quality recording.
Basically, four different releases exist:
