2LP set featuring The Sisters Of Mercy live in Oslo in 1985.
By early 1985, former Dead Or Alive guitarist, Wayne Hussey joined The Sisters Of Mercy, and the band proceeded to record their debut album, First and Last and Always. Hussey focused on 12-string electric and acoustic guitars while also contributing as a songwriter. Among the finest shows on the First and Last and Always tour, the band's performance in Oslo, Norway on 16th May remains among fan favourites.
A month or so prior to the Oslo show, The Sisters Of Mercy played a couple of cuts for The Old Grey Whistle Test, the weekly BBC music showcase, often featuring live performances from current acts. Both these selections are now available in full on this new 2LP set, providing a first-time release for these performances.
