Don't Turn On The Lights - Cover (front)


This is a 2LP live bootleg from the UK and Europe Spring Tour 1984 in Germany.

A test pressing and a series of CDs do exist as well.

Release Notes

  • Label: MADE FOR FANS NOT FOR MONEY
  • Catalogue#: 44
  • Released: 2016 (Europe)
  • Format: 2 × 12" vinyl LP
  • Production Note: Lathe Cut


Source

The bootleg contains the whole gig.


Remarks

  • Strictly limited to 50 copies, hand-numbered.
  • The vinyls are black and have black labels with white print.
The labels show the old head and star logo and below the
alphabetical lettering of the record side in quotation marks: "A".



Virgil And Dante Looking At The Spider Woman
- Engraving by Gustave Doré


Coverart

Arrangement, colours and font are very similar to the original release.
The front coverart varies only with regard to the picture.
However, the picture of the present item - like the one that was used for the Body And Soul coverart -
is based on an engraving by Gustave Doré for Dante's Inferno.
The picture here is a detail from the illustration "Virgil And Dante Looking At The Spider Woman".


Back cover notes:

  • "MADE FOR FANS NOT FOR MONEY", "Cover made by REPTILE",
"p&c 2016" and the numbering "Limited ... /50".
  • Further more, there is an image in the left, lower area of the cover back.
It is hardly recognisable, as it is blurred and bleached, but it seems
to show the head of a dead person lying on the ground.
