Revision as of 13:25, 21 March 2016 by Robertundbobi (talk | contribs)
ECHOES is a series of 4 vinyl bootlegs of live and demo material. The first one was put out as a 7” and the others were released as a 12” record, just as the present one. All releases maintain the same front cover layout in different colours.
See Echoes Vol 1, Echoes Vol 2, Echoes Vol 4.
An ECHOES CD-series does exist as well but with different content and with a different appearance.
Release Notes
- Label: Speed Of Light Records
- Catalogue#: S 01
- Format: 12" vinyl LP

Remarks
- As far as we know, this bootleg was issued in several editions.
- The original first pressing
has a dark rosé foldout paper cover and black vinyls with plain yellow (orange) labels.
- All re-issues show the same cover art as as the original release.
The covers, however, are stable and non-gatefold now, and do have a spine.
The following re-issues have been found so far:
- - Black vinyl with Merciful Release logo labels,
although the entire ECHOES-series is not an official Merciful Release.
- - Black vinyl with Merciful Release logo labels, same as above but limited to 100 copies,
coming with a booklet in German language and a numbered limited-edition sticker on
the cover front giving the number of the individual copy counting from 0001 to 0100.
- - Black vinyl with plain yellow labels, limited to 100 copies, also coming with a booklet
in German language and a limited-edition sticker on the cover front.
NOTE: The stickers of this version are without numbering!
