Revelations - LP Cover (front)

An early bootleg LP featuring a summer festival gig of The Sisters of Mercy in 1984.

Release Notes

  • Label: Planet Rock Records / P.R. Records Detroit 1984
  • Catalogue#: 601, Pink.Inc.1
  • Format: 12" vinyl LP
  • Released: 1986


Remarks

  • Because of repetitive up- and downturns of the volume itself and especially of Andrews voice the sound quality is considered to be 6.5/10.
  • Black vinyl with b/w labels giving information on the tracks.
  • There is no mention of the bootleg title on the labels.
    The record is titled "York Racecourse", rather.
  • Track B5 is spelled wrongly "Gimmie Shelter".
  • The back cover states:
    © 1984 P. R. RECORDS DETROIT ALL RIGHTS RESERVED


Plain "preliminary" cover


NOTE:
A sort of pre-issue item has also surfaced in an online auction.

It came in a plain white "preliminary" sleeve and stated only the bootleg title,

see the picture here on the left (please click into the file for a larger view).

Since we do not have a picture of the actual vinyl, doubts remain whether

this was not just a cover got lost under circumstances uncleared ...



Recording Source

  • At the concert the intro to Alice starts twice. Craig Adams' bass quits, then the band start again. On the record this incident is excluded.
