Black October - LP Cover (front)
Black October - LP Cover (back)
Black October - Black and red labels of first edition


Recorded live during the Black October Tour at the Top Rank, Brighton, UK on 22.10.1984.

This bootleg exists in two formats: the present 2LP vinyl version and a CD.

Furthermore, a CDr with that title but from a different concert turns up in auctions time and again.

In addition, a further bootleg CD called Enter The Sisters has the subtitle A Black October ...


Release Notes

  • Label: Merciful Release (allegedly)
  • Catalogue#: MRT033-T, MSR-63, L-29797
  • Format: 2 LP
  • Date of Release: 1987




Remarks

  • The album starts with an excerpt of the song Perfect Day of Lou Reed which appears on his second solo album Transformer. It crystallizes from the crowd noise and fades over into the opening track Burn.
  • Notably, the last song of the concert Sister Ray is missing in this recording.
  • Available in two editions
  • First edition:
Based on a soundboard recording
Labels on record one are red, labels on record two are black.
  • Second edition:
Identical cover as the fist edition.
Poor sound quality. There are up and down turns of the volume and there are even skips and bucles as if the needle of the turntable were jumping. Probably it is a sloppy copy from the vinyl of the first edition.
Record one has white labels and the labels of record two are clear beige, nearly white.



Backsleeve-Notes

  • Special Thanx To "The Phantom Twins"
    - but this does not mean, the item were a Palazzograssi produce!
  • Keep Watching the Western Sky
  • A Merciful Release - not true, either
