Some nice aspects of this concert and its circumstances as well as further pictures can be read and seen in this wonderful blog http://sistersfan.blogspot.com/2015/10/pre-falaa-at-gala.html

Eldritch is on his usual banterous form between songs, teasing the crowd about which cover songs would be played and then dedicating Jolene to “all the people that tolerated us in dresses at the Hacienda last night”, another famous incident which
has itself since passed into TSOM folklore.

RE-UPLOAD: The Sisters of Mercy - The Damage Is Done - vinyl bootleg LP (Flac)

From original Poster TXT file:

"Here's a classic vinyl Sisters bootleg album, featuring (a repeat of) an 1981 concert from Leeds, the ABBA-cover from the Danceteria in NYC '84 and part of a fantastic audience recording of the band playing in Münster during the 1983 Europe tour.
Because everybody's probably sick and tired of always hearing the same AUD-recording of Gimme x3 from NYC, I've also added the rarer SBD-recording of the same song from Detroit '84. This led me to add two further rarities: a very good recording of Some Kind of Stranger from the Lyceum '85 (a much better recording than available on the better known vinyl 2LP of the same gig) and a SBD-recording (I think) of the band doing a short rendition of Stairway to Heaven in Blackburn '85 (this time with AE on vocals). All vinyl sources have been cleaned up."

In FLAC. The RAR files open separately.

Thanks to DrSisters for sending me this compilation of all sources avaiable.


Many sisters fans consider 28.08.83 Amsterdam, Paradiso as one of the best shows The Sisters played. I can not agree, IMHO, this is one of the best shows The Sisters Played, atleast the best show 1983. Band plays flawless, Andrew is on fire and the doctor is on fire as well.

NOTE: The Date on the info file and folder is wrong, please correct after downloading.

Thanks to sleepchamber for sending this tape to rip.

Contrast Clause: There was a version of this concert uploaded by Cyberbio in 2008, this is a rip of a different more complete tape of the the same source, using different equipment and at a diferent bitrate.
Cyberbio noted that is tape wasn´t complete, missing Alice and Adrenochome. My tape mentions both songs in the cover, but actually only Alice is present..
One more song then, probably still not complete. My rip sounds similar to cyberbio, but with a little less tape hiss, so you can call it an upgrade.

Note: This recording has most of the tracks chopped by the recorder, so the order of the songs is probably not correct.

THIS IS ONE OF THE SUPERB TAPES THAT I OBTAINED FROM THE NETHERLANDS GIRL NAMED VIRGINIA  S.Y.

MY TAPE IS A DIRECT  COPY FROM HER OWN MASTER TAPE.

THE SOURCE IS NOT THE BOOTLEG LP POSSESSION SO THERE IS NO SCRACH NOISE.

THE MASTER TAPE HAVE  ALSO HISS NOISE.

THE SOUND IS NOT AMPLIFIED LIKE THE BOOTLEG LP POSSESSION.

THE BEGINNING OF BURN (WHICH IS NOT ON THE BOOTLEG VERSION) IS  AUDIENCE BECAUSE  VIRGINIA START OF TAPED THE GIG WITH HIS WALKMAN ,THEN GET THE
POSSIBILITY TO TAPED ON THE MIXING DESK MATERIAL (IT FAILED A BIT OF SONG "BURN"  DUE TO THE MATERIAL CHANGE).

I HOPE THIS WILL PLEASED SOME PEOPLE.

ALSO THIS IS MY FAVOURITE GIG EVER......

ALL THE BEST
