~ Release by The Sisters of Mercy (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

The information on the backsleeve isn't entirely correct. The actual livedates and venues are:
Tracks 1-11 recorded live at Hunky Dory, Detmold, Germany on 29-05-1984.
Track 12 recorded live at Odeon, Munster, Germany on 01-09-1983.
Tracks 13-14 recorded live at the Lyceum, London on 25-03-1985.
Track 15 recorded live at Danceteria, New York, USA on 13-04-1984.

Track 11 is printed as 'Sister Ray', but is in fact a medley of 'Ghostrider' and 'Sister Ray'.
Track 15 is printed as 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme'. The correct songtitle is 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)'.

Limited edition: 1000 copies
