Revision as of 21:30, 12 April 2018
This bootleg was first released as Live In Hull 1983 (picture up left) and then reissued as A Fire In The Hull (pictures up 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, while further editions are still being added ...
Source
The album features a soundboard recording of the entire concert of July 1st, 1983 at Dingwalls, Kingston upon Hull,
the last gig of The Sisters's UK Spring Tour in 1983, PLUS a further two songs from the soundcheck before the gig.
What is special about this bootleg - aside from the really good sound quality - is that many of the songs were played
out of tune and were partially even messed up. With the exception of Doktor Avalanche, every member of the band had
their slip sometimes during the performance. Nowadays, it is, of course, impossible to tell why this happened.
Maybe, 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 fully enjoyed the concert. And so the listener should be pleased
with this bootleg as well.
