Revision as of 02:42, 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 ...

The album contains a soundboard recording of the entire concert of July 1st, 1983 at Dingwalls, Kingston upon Hull, England,
the last gig of The Sisters of Mercy's UK Spring Tour 1983 in Hull, PLUS a further two songs from the soundcheck before the gig.

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 were partially even messed up. With the exception of Doktor Avalanche, all members of the band were 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.

Editions

- First Edition Label -


First Edition


  • The first edition is a very rare item as it was strictly limited
    to 10 hand-numbered copies.
  • These records come in a generic white cover with a white A4
    xerox sheet glued to the cover front that gives all the track and
    bootleg information (see also the picture on top of the page).
  • The cover back is plain white.
  • Additional cover notes on this edition: LIMITED EDITION .../10
  • The records were pressed on black vinyl with plain white labels.
    One side of these labels has "Sisters Hull .../10" handwritten on it in black ink and a likewise black-ink stamp saying "2 July 2015" - obviously the release date.


A Fire In The Hull - Second edition, here with red vinyl (overview)

Second Edition


  • The second edition comes with a proper cover as shown in the images above and below.
  • Additional back cover notes on this edition:
RECORDED ON THE SOM MOBILE
PRODUCED BY ROUGH MOUSE
SPECIAL THANKS TO LG
  • This edition was pressed on a variety of different vinyl colours, single-coloured and multi-coloured,
    which all appeared around the same time.
  • The labels are black with a dark red lettering and the old head and star logo.
    They specify the bands name, the album title, the song titles and the side of the record.
  • The single-coloured vinyls usually come with a round sticker in the top right corner
    saying for example: "LIMITED EDITION <RED> VINYL".


A Fire In The Hull - Second edition
Label Side A (orange vinyl)
  • Single-coloured vinlys surfaced so far were clear, orange, red and white.
4-LP sets, consisting of a collection of all four single-coloured vinyls are sold as well.
Despite the limited-edition sticker on the cover front, these copies are not numbered.
  • The multi-coloured splattered vinyls are also limited to very low numbers of copies.
Colour combinations seen so far are black and white splattered, black and green splattered,
black and yellow splattered and black, white, green and yellow splattered, all of which on clear vinyl.
  • According to information @Discogs, there are only 8 copies of each colour combination.
However, when these item were sold on eBay, the seller claimed that only 3 copies of each would exist,
with the exception of the black, white, green and yellow splattered clear vinyl, of which there were only
a single 1 (= a total of 10 multi-coloured splattered vinyls). Anyway, these copies are not numbered.
  • Runout grooves: SOM H1983 -A- and -B-
