Peel Session Recordings 82-84
Subtitle: Peel and Jensen Sessions 1982-1983-1984
A double 10" vinyl bootleg, released towards the end of the year 2018, containing the three radio sessions mentioned above.
Beyond question, these sessions have been the source of most bootleg releases featuring The Sisters of Mercy through the years.
To get an idea of the multitude of items that contain all of these songs or some of them, please check the representative lists of CDs, LPs or 7"s on the respective sites for Peel Session 82, Jensen Session 83 and Peel Session 84.
However, what sets the present item apart from all the other bootlegs with the same content, that were released before, is the astonishing sound quality.
