The Sisters of Mercy

Dingwalls, Hull, UK

Friday, July 1, 1983

https://sisterswiki.org/Fri,_01-Jul-1983

The final night of the Spring 1983 UK tour ("the last one for a very long time"), as preserved on a low gen (but a little bit hissy) soundboard recording. Great sound quality, but unfortunately various band members had momentary lapses of concentration at different points during the gig, so some very strange noises can be heard here and there (check out the start to Heartland, for instance). Still, not to be missed if you like the glorious din created by the girls in 1983!

lineage: SBD recording -> A Fire In The Hull bootleg LP (see https://sisterswiki.org/A_Fire_In_The_Hull ) -> 32bit 96kHz capture in Adobe Audition -> manually declicked, phase corrected and normalized -> light pass in Click Repair between the songs only -> track splits with CD Wave Editor -> dithered to 24bit in iZotope RX3 -> encoded to FLAC (level 8) with TLH.
