Revision as of 20:15, 16 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.

Blood Money - First Edition Cover (front)
Blood Money - First Edition (back)
Blood Money - Japanese cover (front)

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 one,
that has a more professional appearance. 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
can reach into the hundreds of Euros in the online auctions.

Release Notes

  • Label: unknown
SACEM logo as on the labels
  • Catalogue#: 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 official Wake video. Other authors give 1987 as the release date.
  • Place of release: England / France
The Reverberation booklet states that this bootleg is an English product,
while the "Japanese issue" was a second release manufactured in France.
Other authors maintain it were entirely a French release. Their opinion might derive from logo of
SACEM (Société des auteurs, compositeurs et éditeurs de musique) on the label, a French company
(see the pictures further down).


General Remarks

  • Good sound quality
  • The bootleg is focussed upon the final encore of the concert,
    consisting of Train and the medley of Ghostrider / Louie Louie,
    which is omitted in the official concert video Wake.
  • All versions are pressed on black vinyl.
  • The track infos on both covers and labels are full of mistakes.

  • The vinyls and the labels that come in the two different covers are identical.
  • The labels give the impression that the issue were an official French release.
  • Label notes: Bootleg title, catalogue number, erroneous track list with wrong track times (see Track List)

Remarks on the standard cover

on a dark brown background. The pentagramm is bounded by an inlaid circle giving the band name and the bootleg title in also red capital letters.
  • The back cover, too, simulates a wooden surface and gives only the erroneous track list and the venue dates.

  • The image that was used for the cover art was used before on the famous Floorshow EP.
It was originally published with an ELEKTRA biography and information pack in 1985.
The photo is credited to Tom Sheehan 1985.

  • The bootleg title is omitted on the cover.
