Revision as of 14:02, 9 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 released in two different covers - a white generic one with a black/white A4-xerox glued to it; and another fully printed and glossy more professional looking cover.
The first mentioned one has a text printed in Japanese characters in the lower left 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 hundreds of Euros in the online auctions.

Blood Money - Label (Side A)
  • Label: unknown
  • Catalog#: S.O.M. 666
  • Format: 12" vinyl LP
  • Released: 1985 / 1987
According to the Reverberation Across The Nation booklet,
the album was released in 1985 before the release of the official Wake video.
Other authors give 1987 as the release date.
  • Place of release: England / France
The Reverberation booklet states that it is an English release,
while the "Japanese issue" was manufactured in France.

(see the pictures further down).
