Merciful Release: История Лейбла и Ранние Релизы Sisters of Mercy

Введение

Лейбл Merciful Release — это звукозаписывающий лейбл, основанный Эндрю Элдричем, фронтменом лидской группы Sisters of Mercy. Как заявил Элдрич в одном из ранних интервью, он хотел слышать свою музыку по радио. Он и Гэри Маркс (Марк Пэйрман) сыграли и записали первый сингл Sisters of Mercy — "Damage Done", отпечатав тысячу экземпляров. Эта пластинка стала раритетом для коллекционеров. В начале 1980-х годов группа выпустила несколько синглов на лейбле Merciful Release, самостоятельно контролируя формат и оформление пластинок, обычно в черной обложке с центральным изображением и логотипом в виде головы и звезды на задней стороне. Ярким примером этого является использование картины Анри Матисса «Голубая обнаженная» в золотом цвете на черном фоне для сингла «Alice». К 1984 году группа заключила дистрибьюторское соглашение с Warner Bros. Records (Elektra в США), при этом сохраняя контроль над Merciful Release. В 1990-х годах на лейбле Merciful Release были выпущены несколько компакт-дисков для группы MK Ultra: их альбомы Beluga Pop и This Is This, а также для немецкой группы Scoda Blush.
