"Wake (Different edit)" with Von introduction?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Hiya,

I have a hi-gen vhs tape with the usual promo videos, some old show tripod recorded from afar, in daylight!, in 1984 etc etc. Anyhow, on this tape there are a 4-5 song long episode called "Wake (Alternative edit)".

What is different from the regular Wake, anything at all? I haven't really compared them yet but on top of my head the sound seems different, but I'm not sure.

Are there digital versions of this circulating? I have great equipment for doing transfers, with all the bells and whistles you'd expect. (TBC etc.) But, since the quality of my copy ain't very good, although without doubt enjoyable, I'm not sure whenever I should transfer this.

There might be much better copies?

EDIT: Could be called "Wake (Different edit)" too... I don't have the tape here at the moment, so I'm not sure.

EDIT#2: This Wake-version has a (very, very short) introduction by Andrew himself.

Regards,
VO

What's the intro?

Does it mention "the very merry month of... June"?

I think there are several versions of that night's recording in the weeding section. You might have a look there and compare.
