Information About

Merciful Release




Throughout the early 1980s the band released several singles on Merciful Release, controlling the format and image of the records. Typically in a black sleeve with artwork centrally mounted and a head and star logo on the rear of sleeves. A notable example being Henri Matisse 's Blue Nude in gold on black for the single Alice .

By 1984 the band had signed a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records ( Elektra in the US) whilst still maintaining control of Merciful Release.

In the 1990s , when the Sisters Of Mercy went quiet as both a recording and touring act, a number of CDs were released on the Merciful Release label for MK Ultra; their ''Buluga Pop'' and ''This is This'' albums, and German band Scoda Blush.
