In Concert At The Royal Albert Hall (7")
From SistersWiki.org - The Sisters Of Mercy Fan Wiki
This 7" bootleg single is the second issue and follow-up pressing of the A Merciless Release
and was produced and released at the same time by the same label featuring the same tracks.
Due to the print on the back cover, In Concert At The Royal Albert Hall is also widely known
as Knocking On Heaven's Door - Emma.
Because of the track list, this is at times, however, also the case for A Merciless Release.
Release Notes
- Label: Scatterbrainchild Records
- Catalogue#: SR-002
- Format: 7" vinyl single
- Released: Jan 1987 (US)
Remarks
- Hand-numbered limited edition of 200 copies.
- B/w wrap-around paper cover in poor printing quality showing a picture of the band (1983 line-up)
- looking at a leather jacket that is hanging from a wardrobe and has their bandname and logo on the back
- The cover enfolds the single on the back side only halfway up, so the bootleg is delivered in a plastic jacket.
- Back Cover Notes:
- WESTMINSTER
- Archibald Constable & Co Ltd 6d.
- 2 WHITEHALL GARDENS
- Track A is wrongly noted as KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR on the cover back and
- even as KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR on the a-side label of the vinyl missing the apostrophes.
- The records are pressed either on clear yellow vinyl coming with golden-coloured labels or on translucent blue vinyl
- with yellow labels. Black vinyls are also said to exist, but might well be Merciless Release pressings, initially.
- No picture has been seen of a Live-At-The-Royal-Albert-Hall black vinyl so far.
- The labels of both issues (yellow and blue) and on both sides give the label name "Scatterbrainchild Records",
- the bandname SISTERS OF MERCY (without the definite article), track title, track duration (partly wrong), and
- the running speed as 33 ⅓ RPM, which is unusual for a 7" single.
