  The Neon Dream - CD Inlay

Source

• As far as we know, at least five different Audience Recordings from this show exist.
• This should be one of them (incomplete and somewhat edited, however).
• The tape used for this release is a good stereo recording, a bit too fast.
• The breaks between the encores are cut out.
• The last two songs, He's Got The Whole World In His Hands and 1969 are omitted.

Remarks

• This festival is the only time ever The Sisters of Mercy played He's Got The Whole World In His Hands.
• Unfortunately, you will not find this song on the present release. It is, however, included in the Brothers And Sisters bootleg from the same event.
  
• In addition, a 7" bootleg single box was issued, see Live Reading 91 Box
