Revision as of 21:30, 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 versions - a first edition with a fully printed, glossy cover that has a quite professional appearance; and a later issue coming in a white generic cover with a black/white A4-xerox glued to it. The latter one has a text printed in Japanese characters in the lower left corner of the cover front 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 in online auctions reaching into the hundreds of Euros .

Blood Money - Label (Side A)


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
long before the official Wake video and subsequent unofficial releases.
Other authors name 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 the Blood Money bootleg were entirely a French release. Their opinion might derive from the logo of
SACEM (Société des auteurs, compositeurs et éditeurs de musique) on the label, (see the picture on the left side)
- a French French professional association "collecting payments of artists’ rights and distributing the rights
   to the original songwriters, composers, and music publishers".


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.


Blood Money - Label (Side B)


Remarks concerning the labels

  • 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)
33 tours, SIDE I/II, Stéréo, SACEMlogo;
and printed in a circle around border of the label:
TOUS DROITS DU PRODUCTEUR DE L'OEUVRE PHONOGRAPHIQUE ET DU PROPRIÉTAIRE
DE L'OEUVRE ENREGISTRÉE RÉSERVÉS, SAUF AUTORISATION, LA DUPLICATION,
LA LOCATION, LE PRÊT, DU L'UTILISATION DE CE DISQUE POUR EXÉCUTION PUBLIQUE
ET RADIODIFFUSION SONT INTERDITS. MADE IN FRANCE



Remarks on the standard issue

  • The cover front shows a picture of a "burning" red pentagramm within some American or Canadian traditional-like wood inlaid work
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.
Apart from the song titles, the lettering on the cover reverse comes in a script typeface, i.e. looking like handwriting.
  • The spine is blank and does not give any further information about this release.


Blood Money - The image used for the Japanese cover


Remarks on the "Japanese"-cover issue

  • The cover consits of a generic white sleeve with a black and white copied A4 sheet glued to it.
  • 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.
Blood Money -The Japanese text field
  • The bootleg title is omitted on the cover.
  • Cover notes beside the track list and the band's name:
"STEREO" in the upper right corner and
a Japanese text field in the lower left corner.
