A two-LP bootleg recorded live during the Black October Tour in 1984 at Top Rank, Brighton, England, UK.
This bootleg exists in two formats: the present 2LP vinyl version and a CD.
Furthermore, a CDr with that title but from a different concert turns up in auctions time and again.
In addition, a further bootleg CD called Enter The Sisters has the subtitle A Black October ...
Release Notes
- Label: Merciful Release (allegedly)
- Catalogue#: MRT033-T, MSR-63, L-29797
- Format: 2 LP
- Date of Release: 1987
Remarks
- The album starts with an excerpt of the song Perfect Day of Lou Reed
- which appears on his second solo album Transformer.
- The playback crystallizes from the crowd noise and fades over into the opening track Burn.
- Notably, the last song of the actual concert, Sister Ray, does not appear in this recording.
Backsleeve-Notes
- Special Thanx To "The Phantom Twins"
- but this does not mean, the item were a Palazzograssi produce!
- Keep Watching the Western Sky
- A Merciful Release - not true, either
This vinyl bootleg is available in two editions:
First edition:
- Audibly based on a soundboard recording
- The labels on record one are plain red,
- the labels of record two are fully black.
Second edition:
- The cover is identical to the first edition.
- But the sound quality is rather poor and disappointing.
- There are up and down turns of the volume, one channel is even silent at times.
- Skips and bucles, as if the needle had been jumping on the turntable while ripping,
- make it seem likely that this second edition is just a sloppy copy taken from the vinyl of the first edition.
- Record one has plain white labels and the labels of record two are plain beige, nearly white.
