Reverberation Across The Nation - Cover (front)


A live bootleg from The Sisters of Mercy's show at Teatro Espero, Rome, Italy 02.05.1985,

unfortunately and for unknown reasons, it never saw the light of day.

Release Notes

  • Catalogue#: PG 03
  • Format: 12" vinyl LP incl. discography booklet
  • Release: didn't develop beyond test pressing and proof copy


Remarks

  • This bootleg was announced as a limited edition of 50 copies of a 12" vinyl LP
coming with a discography booklet and was already given the catalogue number PG 03.

accompanying discography booklet do, however, exist. For a complete view of
the 33-page discography booklet, please see the pictures down below.

Remarks on the snippet on the right side

  • This was long thought to be the snippet of a postcard alledgedly announcing the release and
- a fake which appeared years after it was long clear that no actual release would ever surface.
In fact, it is an A4 scan of the top left hand corner of the sleeve made for a collector to give
an impression of what the bootleg cover would look like.


Page 1 of the discography booklet:   -   Where to begin?...

Source

This recording does not give the full concert. Body And Soul, Possession and Walk Away are missing,
while Train is moved from the final position to A2.
  • It was long assumed that the present bootleg would deliver a complete recording with correct track order
    and its release was therefore dearly awaited.
  • The concert (though incomplete as well) is also featured on the Black Planet CD-bootleg.
  • Beyond that, at least two audience recordings of the full concert are known to exist
    and are in circulation among the fanbase.
