The Sisters Of Mercy - NRUB - 7'' Bootleg Single (Flac)

Possibly the worst piece of crap to be released bearing the Sisters of Mercy name...

 By 1986, the bootleggers were surely running out of ideas to release stuff. Thanks to sleepchamber for sending me this one. The tracks are not ripped from vinyl, instead are from bootlegs CDs, since the sound was better.

Info from SistersWiki:

The title of this 7" bootleg derives from the fact that the complete cover is mirror inverted so that BURN can be read NRUB. Therefore the single is also known as Burn 7". As the mirror-inverted Head & Star logo on the back cover is crossed by the lettering "FIERCER THAN THOU" and the same lettering does appear on the vinyl as well, the bootleg is also referred to as Fiercer Than Thou as well.


Track List

    A. NRUB (Bizarro Remix)
    B. Ripsters Of Mercy (Mixed by Aural Terrorist)


About the tracks

-------------------------------
    NRUB is Burn played backwards.

    Some of the singing is, however, not backwards, so that the following lines can be identified:

    The catherine wheel a ring of fire
    We'll burn this circus down
    The wheel goes round and the flames get higher
    The juggling men and the idiot clowns

    Parts of this text can also be found in the lyrics to Burn It Down.

--------------------------------
    Ripsters of Mercy is a remix of First And Last And Always filled with movie track samples.

Piece of Crap

The Sisters Of Mercy - Paard Van Troje, Den Haag, The Netherlands - 26.05.1984 (Flac - 2 Sources)

And two versions of this concert, both soundbard sourced and excellent. First from a M1 tape rip and the second from the bootleg CD. They're almost identical, so unless you're a fanatical collector, you can download only one. I would go for the tape rip myself.

Another upgrade to FLAC.

REPOST NOTE:

I guess this would now be considered a second generation bootleg.  Although I appreciate the recording highly and the speed in which it became available, the original cutting of tracks seems to have been done in haste.

This version is of the complete recording, but with track turnovers edited in Wavlab.  If anyone objects... um -- I'll look into it.  I made my own personal edited version to fit on a single CD-R (wherein I also reduced the 'clip' when Von yells "Vote yourselves sicker" in response to... ehem... Bush at the beginning of 'Vision Thing').  I did try adjusting gain and make it louder, but now realize that many of the bass tones just turn to mud.  The original mix is rather clean so adjust your volume and EQ manually.

I recommend listening to crowd banter track simply for the guy screaming such things as "Andrew ...  I love you ... god damn...".  It's wonderful stuff.

The Sisters Of Mercy - Dour Festival, Belgium - 02.07.1997 (Flac)

Recently surfaced master recording, it's incomplete, missing the last encores, but sounds better than the copy I had before, so don't take the "mainly for collectors" advice of the original info file.



Original Info File:

I received this concert direcly from the taper. As a photographer, he got a pass to access the area between the stage and
the crowd. He recorded the gig from there and the result is far from excellent, unfortunately.

Mainly for collectors.

Recorded with SHARP 722 MD Portable Recorder with Bass Rolloff on and an old pair of Binaural Mics> SB X-Fi Audio Card/EQ > 16 bit WAV > WavLabLite (to split tracks) > FLAC Frontend Level 0/Replaygain > Dimeadozen

I stood on the upper tier of the venue in front and center of the sound crew.

Mixed on my computer through SB X-Fi Audio Card with double parametric EQ and
24-bit Crystalizer at maximum because it sounded better that way.
