Subtitle as noted on the cover back: '''Demos And Alternate Recordings'''.<br/>
 
 
 
A relatively new studio bootleg LP with demos from the [[First And Last And Always (album)|First And Last And Always]] era that has not only been sold in online auctions, but also along online record stores and even [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Light-Shadow-VINYL-Sisters-Mercy/dp/B072XVTFD3/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1529719716&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Sisters+of+Mercy+-+Light+and+Shadow amazon].<br/>
 
<br/>

* Catalogue# and run-outs: Mercy 2
 
 
 
* Format: 12" vinyl LP
 
 
 
* Released: 10 Feb 2017 (USA)
 
<br/>
 
'''Remarks'''
 
* Good sound quality. [https://www.discogs.com/de/label/1171380-Swingshift-Records Swingshift Records] are known to reissue former releases of old demos from a variety of bands.
 
 
 
* The record was initially sold as "1984 Studio Demos With Alternate Lyrics & Arrangements", which most likely refers to the [[Strawberry Sessions 1984]]. 
 
 
 
* According to sellers' notes in online auctions, the bootleg was manufactured in the UK
 
: - and then obviously delivered as a "RARE IMPORT FAN CLUB ISSUE" to and from the US

<br/>
 
 
 
* The coverart on the front side gives the bandname and the album title in red capital letters and shows
 
: a slightly cut and modified b/w print of an old wooden church.
 
: The picture, that was originally taken as a colour photo by Latvian photographer [https://www.facebook.com/NejroN.Photo/ Andrejs Pidjass (Nejron)]
 
: was used in 2012 for the [https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51tMEDOf-TL.jpg  front] and [https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71g9ddsnYuL.jpg back] cover of the psycho thriller  [https://www.amazon.com/Redemption-Troy-L-Lambert/dp/1475129793/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= ''Redemeption''] by [https://www.amazon.com/default/e/B005LL1QEC?redirectedFromKindleDbs=true Troy Lambert].
 
[[File:Old Wooden Church c.jpg|right|thumb|310px|Old Wooden Church - colour photo]]
 
 
 
* The backcover looks plain black and notes:
 
: "DEMOS AND ALTERNATE RECORDINGS", then the tracklist and below the label "SWINGSHIFT RECORDS".
 
 
 
<br/>
 
'''Editions'''<br/>
 
At least '''two editions''' of a different vinyl colour are known to exist.
 
* The vinyls of the '''first edition''' are black and run at 33 rpm.
 
 
 
* They have black labels with golden-coloured print repeating the cross motive from the cover
 
: and give the bandname, the album title, the side mark and the tracks on that side.
 
 
 
* Allegedly, this is a limited edition of 500 copies, although there is no numbering neither on the cover,
 
: nor on the labels. Insofar there is also no proof of the actual number of copies.
 
 
 
* The first copies of this issue were offered as "180 GRAM BLACK VINYL LP IMPORT RECORDS".
 
: We do not know, whether this refers to an initial edition consisting of a low number of copies,
 
: that were pressed on higher-quality vinyl, or to all black-vinyl issues.
 
<br/>
 
[[File:Lightandshadowtest.jpeg|left|thumb|270px|''Light And Shadow'' - Label of the test pressing]]
 
<br/>
 
* The '''second edition''' surfaced a few months after the first one.
 
 
 
* It is pressed on dark red marbled or dark purple marbled vinyl.
 
: and is also a limited edition, but of 100 copies, only.
 
 
 
* Apart from the colour of the vinyl, the colour of the label print does also differ from the first edition.
 
: It is grey or silver instead of golden, while the information and its layout including the cross motive are identical.
 
: The labels of this edition look somewhat sloppily printed, though.
 
<br/>
 
* A '''test pressing''' did also appear.
 
 
 
* It has the same cover as the final releases and is pressed on black vinyl,
 
 
 
* The labels are plain white, though, with handwritten information on them (see the picture on the left),
 
: giving the catalogue#, the side marker and the date of its manufacture: 11/21/16
 
<br/>
 
<br/>
 
'''Sources'''
 
* The versions of the songs presented on this bootleg were mainly taken from the [[Strawberry Sessions 1984|Strawberry Sessions in 1984]].
