This 12" live bootleg was first released as Live In Hull 1983 and then reisssued as A Fire In The Hull. It is very obvious, that the first issue was the prototype for the second one.

Life In Hull 1983 - First Edition LP Cover (front)
A Fire In The Hull - Second Edition LP Cover (front)

The record contains a soundboard recording

from the last concert of The Sisters of Mercy's

UK Spring Tour 1983 in Hull PLUS further

two songs from the according soundcheck.

The peculiarity of this bootleg - aside from

the really good sound quality of the recording -

is that a lot of songs were played out of tune

and sometimes even messed up.

With the exception of Doktor Avalanche

all members of the band are mistaken at times

during the performance.

Nowadays we can't say why, but we consider that

it was the last concert of the tour held in the

hometown of `Gary Marx and these circumstances

might have given rise to this "dissonance".

However, it seems that the audience were enjoying the concert and so can do the listener of this bootleg as well.
