Floorshow - LP Cover (front)
Floorshow - LP Cover (back)



A bootleg from one of the very last shows of The Sisters of Mercy in their First And Last And Always line-up, when Gary Marx had already left the band. In fact, it was the first gig of the American leg of the Armageddon Tour in 1985. After these shows, The Sisters of Mercy returned to England, played the Royal Albert Hall, split up a few months later and things developed into those directions we're all used to by now.

The bootleg was originally released in 1990 on vinyl and CD by the famous The Swingin' Pig Records bootleg label. A year later, a Polish cassette bootleg of similar content surfaced in online auctions. Also the CD-version got bootlegged in 1993. The second CD imitates everything apart from the title "Floorshow", which is replaced by the time and place of the gig.

Floorshow - LP Label (Side A)

Source


Remarks

  • Soundboard recording, excellent sound quality, though the pitch is a little too low.
Check the sound files on the bottom of the "Silence Is Platinum" page.
  • The concert is incomplete.
First And Last And Always, Walk Away, Emma and Amphetamine Logic are missing
  • For some weird reason most of the tracks don't appear in the real order they were played.
Alice for instance was originally played between Floorshow and Gimme Shelter.
This is corrected on the cassette version, but the overall order is still wrong;
the tracks on side A were the last four songs at the gig.
  • Total Duration: 31:44 min.
There are minor differences in track times on the cassette.
Floorshow - LP Darkgrey Marbled
  • The vinyl version has tracks 1 - 4 on side A and tracks 5 - 7 on side B.
The same accounts for the cassette.
  • Vinyls are known to exist in the following colour versions:
black, clear yellow, grey marbled, darkgrey marbled, greenish grey (olive) marbled,
green marbled, darkgreen (turquoise or bluegreen) marbled, darkbrown, brown marbled,
golden brown marbled, blue marbled.
Some time ago, all existing vinyl colours were shown here @The Swingin' Pig Net
but that page is no longer so comprehensive.
  • A white-label testpressing has been seen as well.
  • As usual the song credits are also mixed up,
Floorshow is credited to some guy called "Jennings".
  • Some copies came with a Swingin' Pig Records catalogue 12" inlet. See pictures down below.


Additional LP Cover Notes

  • NoNoise is a trademark of SONIC SOLUTIONS USA.
This critically acclaimed computer based digital system dramatically reduces
hiss, clicks and other unwanted noises from older recordings.
Carefully remastered by B.accoustics W.Germany



For recent price developments see here and here for the vinyl and here for the CD.
Polish cassettes are steadily available in online auction, though possibly reissued with reprinted inlays.
