• Label: Palazzograssi Records

• Catalogue#: PG-01

• Format: 2 x 7" vinyl single(Box Set)

• Released: 1987 / 1989

Remarks

• A limited edition 1000 box set + 40 hand-numbered issues

• The set comes in a black textured box with an embossed Merciful Release logo
  in silver print on the front. On the back side the boxes are plain black.

• They contain two 7" vinyls, a copy of the concert poster, a review of the concert
  from Midnight magazine including further details about the American leg of the
  1985 Armageddon Tour and an inlay card with a numbering stamp.

• The additional hand-numbered issues come in a red gatefold glossy sleeve.
  They were done and sold on the occasion of The Sisters of Mercy Convention in Leeds 1989.

• The original reason behind the limited 40 red gatefold-edition was that some of the black
  boxes were damaged and were too expensive to remake, so the amount of boxes did not
  cover all the vinyls pressed.

• Proof-sleeve and unnumbered promo copies do exist as well.

• One vinyl is clear white, the other one is blueish green / olive marbled.
  Issues with one white and one black vinyl are also said to exist.

• The vinyls have black labels with Merciful Release logo and detail the tracks on each side.

Source

• Recorded live on 30th May 1985 at Fenders Ballroom, Long Beach, USA
