A sort of pre-issue item has also surfaced in an online auction.
It came in a plain white "preliminary" sleeve and stated only the bootleg title,
see the picture here on the left (please click into the file for a larger view).
Since we do not have a picture of the actual vinyl, doubts remain whether
this was not just a cover got lost under circumstances uncleared ...
Recording Source
- The tracks were recorded live at Racecourse-Festival, York, 22nd September 1984.
- The concert is incomplete: Anaconda and the Ghostrider / Sister Ray medley were also played at the event.
- During the actual concert, the intro to Alice was started twice. Craig Adams' bass quit on first attempt, so the band started again. This incident is excluded from the record.
- Andrew Eldritch sung the first chorus of A Rock And A Hard Place in a slightly different melody.
- A bootleg CD titled Revelations exists as well, but features a different concert from the Black October Tour 1984.
