Remarks

This bootleg exists in three original editions and two re-issues.

We have no information on when which of these editions and
reissues were published exactly, or in what chronological order ...

ECHOES VOL.2 - First edition with orange labels

First Editions

All three first editions come in a gatefold paper cover with b/w artwork.

They differ only as to their labels. There are:

First edition - vinyls with plain yellow (orange) labels (see picture on the right)

First edition - vinyls with 'A' and 'B' labels (see pictures down below).

Furthermore, there is a first edition so-marked radio broadcast promo
by DIR Broadcasting on their very own King Biscuit Label.

    The labels are yellow (orange) and say: "for radio play only (Not for sale)" and:
       "This program is solely for the one-time broadcast use of stations cleared
        by DIR Broadcasting on the designated date and time scheduled by the
        network. It must be returned to DIR network immediately after airing."

There is no mention, whatsoever, of the band or the tracks on these labels.

Re-Issues

ECHOES VOL.2 - Second reissue with limited editions sticker and booklet.
Vinyl with Merciful Release logo labels

All re-issues of this bootleg were released on Speed Of Light Records.

Both re-issues come in a spined common hardpaper cover showing the original artwork.

The labels are black with a Merciful Release logo. Both re-issues are limited to 100 copies.

The second re-issue is accompanied by a booklet in German language.
The sticker on the front says: "Limited edition of 100 copies free with special booklet",
and gives the number of the indvidual copy. The numbering of these runs from 09/100.
(Find more pictures of this one down below...)

The first re-issue has a similar sticker on the cover front, though without numbering.
Also, there is no mention of a booklet with it.

Sources

Tracks A1 - A3 are demos.

Tracks A4 + A5 were recorded live at the Gala, Norwich in 1983.

Tracks B1 - B6 were recorded live at Manchester University in 1984

Jolene and Adrenochrome are the same versions as those found on the 7"-bootleg Nightmares.

Everything from Knockin' On Heaven's Door until Louie Louie is the often-bootlegged medley from 1984.
The medley is essentially Knockin' to Purple Haze though, followed by a second or two's pause, then
starting an instrumental version of Stairway To Heaven and culminating in the Ghostrider medley with
a version of Louie Louie at the end.
