NRUB

From Sisters wiki dot org - The Sisters Of Mercy Wiki Pages

The title of this 7" bootleg derives from the fact that the complete cover is mirror inverted so that BURN can be read NRUB. Therefore the single is also known as Burn 7". As the mirror-inverted Head & Star logo on the back cover is crossed by the lettering "FIERCER THAN THOU" and the same lettering does appear on the vinyl as well, the bootleg is also referred to as Fiercer Than Thou as well.

About the tracks

• NRUB is Burn played backwards.

Some of the singing is, however, not backwards, so that the following lines can be identified:

The catherine wheel a ring of fire
We'll burn this circus down
The wheel goes round and the flames get higher
The juggling men and the idiot clowns

Parts of this text can also be found in the lyrics to Burn It Down.

• Ripsters of Mercy is a remix of First And Last And Always filled with movie track samples.
