Tune In ... Turn Off ... Burn Out ...
A live bootleg from The Sisters of Mercy's 1985 Tune In - Turn On - Burn Out Tour ...
Due to technical limitations of Wiki-formatting, the original title could not be used for this bootleg.
Release Notes
- Label: Lounging Records / Skeleton Songs Ltd
- Catalogue#: TUNE IN
- Format: 12" vinyl LP - Picture Disc
- Released: 1985
Remarks
- Same content as the bootlegs Ghostriderz, and the very rare ones Live At Leeds and Ghost Riders. Although it seems that the present one was the first to be released.
- Released in different editions
- The first edition was a picture disc.
- This release came without any additional cover or artwork.
- According to the Reverberation Across The Nation Discography Booklet it was initially limited to 300 and was not the first edition. Due to the picture disc artwork - the sleeve of the cardboard edition on a white background - this second statement seems to be quite reliable, but we can't proof non of them.
- Another edition consists of a black 12" vinyl in cardboard cover.
- The cover of this one shows the Walk Away logo in red.
- On the spine - just like with the credits on the cover back - the article of the bands name is skipped:
- "Sisters Of Mercy - Tune in... Turn off... Burn out..."
- At least the first pressings have "September Songs" labels.
- Runout goove: TUNE IN/A, TUNE IN /B
- Back cover notes (on all the covers):
- "Recorded Live In Leeds University 16/3/85.
- Produced And Published By
- Skeleton Songs Ltd."
Keep the fire burning...
- And in very small letters:
- " Coverproduction Atlan Prod.
- Realisation Robert-Jo"
Source
- Originally recorded live at Leeds University, 16 March 1985
- The recording is far from being complete.
- Train, Marian, No Time To Cry, Possession, Walk Away, Burn, Emma, Amphetamine Logic, A Rock And A Hard Place , Floorshow and Gimme Shelter are missing.
- On the other hand this was one of the few concerts were Nine While Nine was part of the set list and it can be found on the present album as well.
- A CD-bootleg of the same content was released in 1991, see Tune In... Turn Off... Burn Out...
- Although the band didn't know that at the time, this was the last gig of The Sisters of Mercy in their First and Last and Always formation in their hometown of Leeds.
