Revision as of 09:54, 5 July 2018

One of the rarer 12" vinyl bootlegs featuring an incomplete recording of The Sisters of Mercy's famous final 1980ies gig at the Royal Albert Hall.
The album was edited in two different covers - a white generic with an black/white xerox glued to it and a lamineted, more professional one.
The first one has a Japanese text written in the left lower corner and is therefore commonly known as "the Japanese Cover".
It is also the more sought-after album of the two as it is much rarer. Nowadays it achives high prices that reach into the hundred Euros in the online auctions.
