Revision as of 02:17, 11 April 2018

This bootleg was first released as Live In Hull 1983 (left picture) and then reissued as A Fire In The Hull (pictures in the centre & right).
It is very obvious, that the first issue was the prototype for the second one. Remarkably, a so-called "LIMITED EDITION TEST" pressing
and a variety of single-track acetates appeared after that. Further editions are still coming up ...

A Fire In The Hull - Second Edition LP Cover (back)

The record contains a soundboard recording from the last gig 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, it's impossible to tell why this happened.
Possibly, the fact that this was the final concert of the tour and that it took place in the hometown of Gary Marx gave rise to a certain lack of concentration.
Anyway, the audience were fully enjoying the gig and so the listener should be pleased with this bootleg as well.
