Sources

These tracks were recorded live during the BBC Radio One Kid Jenson Show of March 6th, 1983
these recordings are most likely from the Royal Albert Hall 1985
while some source name "Demos 1984" as their origin.



Further Remarks

  • Limited Edition of 100 machine-numbered copies
FUNN 3 Records Set Vinyls.jpg
  • The cover consists of a white wrap-around sleeve with Merciful Release logo on the front
The cover back lists the tracks in mixed order. Apart from the numbering, it only notes:
ALL UNRELEASED DEMO'S RECORDED 1983 - which is true for only a part of the tracks.
  • In addition, the vinyls are wrapped in a coloured insert showing an excerpt of an official
press photo of Andrew Eldritch formerly featured in Melody Maker, Issue 5 September 1987
  • In a way it seems doubtful that the coloured cover should be the insert.
After all, both items are wrap-around covers so that the white one could
as well go as an insert ...
  • The vinyls are all coloured in a different tone of purple:
mauve, blackberry pink and dark pink vinyl.
  • The labels on all three records are plain white.
