Hi.
Does anyone have the list of releases from MR, ones that include Salvation, James Ray & The Violets (and others if I've missed any)
Thanks.

How come there's no MR01, MR02 etc? Why are they numbered as they are?

Ta!

Funnily enough, I was listening to this last night. And wondering how a mediocre rock band ended up on the Merciful Release label.

Oh ... right.

Here is a link

What was that MR-1 that was by some completely random band...

Wasn't there a record out on Merciful Release by one of the bands that was supporting the Sisters in 1997?

Scoda Blush (support act in 1998 Event Horizon Tour).
Was their CD ever released on MR?

That's right it was 98, my mistake!

Ah, found a little information from the Bass Players MySpace :

1994 he founded the award winning alternative band SCODA BLUSH together with drummer Jürgen Hardt und singer Roland Klein.

1996 SCODA BLUSH recorded a never released CD with
The Sisters Of Mercy-mastermind Andrew Eldritch as producer.

In 1998 the band released their second CD "Little Late" on the "Sisters-label" Mercyful Release, produced by Blank Fontana, and they supported The Sisters Of Mercy on their "Event-Horizont"-Tour in Europe.
An other never released CD-production for Mercyful Release followed, which was the death blow for SCODA BLUSH.

Also, seems to be a Scoda Blush album download Here?

so why no mr01 mr02 ... why start at 07?
and why no 08?

the first half of that album (at least) is bloody marvellous - some great intros and samples from Aliens!

'i say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit - its the only way to be sure'

wasn't there some mention on here of an unreleased second album entitled 'the last of the baby boomers' (or was that a wind up?)

Funny you should say that. When I put it on recently I started thinking "Hey this is actually a lot better than I remembered" ... but by about track 5 or 6 it was starting to grate ... and by the time it had finished I was back to my original opinion, that it's a bit s**t.

Some tidbits in this old thread.

Of course, the Impossible Dreamers. I had one of their 12"s, it was terrible as I recall. Taylor has some of them.

YES

IVE MR1-MR2-MR5

so ... what do you think? is it the mr we know and love?

no at all but for this reason DD had mr7

so whats the link then?
i though AE started MR back in 1980 or so?

I assumed Damage Done was MR7 because the Original Planâ„¢ had been just to release one 7" record (to get onto John Peel's show.)

I don't think there's any connection with the "other" Merciful Release, it's just a coincidence IMO.

the "other" Merciful Release...?

robertzombie wrote:the "other" Merciful Release...?

the label of Impossible Dreamers.
(but don't ask more about this subject from me - that's all I know about it. never heard those Dreamers, never held their record in my hand.)

"Last of the Baby Boomers" was a 7 track (white label) album released by them in '87-88 ish... all the track (but one) were then re-released on the Autopilot Album...

MREL 004 - Scoda Blush - Little Late

I bought this off Amazon the other week. I quite like it.
