  • Format: 12" vinyl LP, Picture Disc
  • Released: 1994 (Italy)


Remarks

  • Released in at least two editions.
  • The first edition is limited to 200 copies,
    the first 20 of which came in a handmade
    wooden box.

    plastic sleeve. All inserts of these copies
    are hand-numbered.
  • An insert showing the Under The Gun theme
    and detailling the track list is included
    in all issues.
  • On the flyer, there are several (spelling) mistakes.


was actually the 15.05.1985 in Gothenburg (wrong: "Goethebourg") not the 16.05.1985.
Also, the song was neither played on 16 May at Vikateatret, Oslo nor on 17 May at Kolingsborg Club, Stockholm.
These two were the only other Swedish dates during the 1985 Armageddon Tour.
  • The vinyl on side A as well as the flyer note: "a carter/.rizla. production for K.R.Ü.M.E.L. records 1994"
  • Vinyl side B notes: - side a (that side): the original mercy     side b: (this side) the years after the highlights

Sources

  • Side A is subtitled The Original Mercy and was recorded on various occasions between 1983-1985
  • Side B - subtitled The Years After The Highlights - was recorded at various gigs between 1991-1993


Re-Release

  • According to the insert, this second edition (i.e. this reissue) was released in the same year
    as the first one (1994) and is also from Italy.
  • While the vinyls look the same, the accompanying insert differs remarkably.
  • It is not numbered and states: 1994 - DISTRIBUTED BY DISCOMAGIC srl. (with phone and fax no.)
  • Like on the original insert, the tracks are listed, but instead of the recording details
    the credits for the origin and the duration of each song are given.
  • The catalogue# is given as well - ON PD 2323
  • Also, a very different font was used - sans serif, mostly bold and in capital letters.
Crediting Come Together to Chris Cornell
is simply false. Chris Cornell did only cover The Beatles' Come Together.
