LIVE - 7" cover (front)

LIVE - 7" cover (back)

One of the older 7" bootleg singles. It features two songs from the concert at the Danceteria, New York, USA on the 13th of April 1984.

Especially the one from side B Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) - a cover version of this ABBA song - was at that time a very rarely heard track of the Sisters of Mercy. It was never oficially released and played live only few times.

Now, decades after its release, there are several bootlegs, like ECHOES VOL. II or Time To Cry, that contain this track as well. These circumstances have lowered the former etraordinariness of the present single.
