Suicide - Debut album of the band Suicide

Ghost Rider was originally released by Suicide on their debut album Suicide.

As far as we know, The Sisters of Mercy covered Ghostrider, as it was called, for the first time live

at Rafters Gallery, Manchester, England on March 27th, 1983 in a medley with Louie Louie.

In the early years, The Sisters of Mercy used to play medleys, which often consisted of Ghostrider / Sister Ray

and/or of Ghostrider or Sister Ray with other songs.

Anyway, Ghostrider remained part of The Sisters' live set until the final gig of their First And Last And Always line up

at the Royal Albert Hall in June 1985, where they played a Ghostrider / Louie Louie medley.

This track is, however, missing in the official Wake video from that show and surfaced only decades later

in various unofficial audience (video) recordings of the concert..


A live performance of Ghostrider by The Sisters of Mercy from 1984 was unofficially released on the 7" Ghostrider EP.

Live versions of the song can also be found on several further bootlegs like Disguised In Black, Holocaust, Napalm Gods and quite a few more.
