Unrelated Releases

NOTE: This band and their release are in no way connected with The Sisters of Mercy and their very own label Merciful Release.
The identical name of the label and the similar catalogue numbers are the result of a most unusual but mere coincidence.

  Number:   Date:   Group:   Title:   Type:   Comments:
  MR1   1980   The Impossible Dreamers   Books   7" EP   The debut single/EP of The Impossible Dreamers.  
  A page dedicated to this 7" vinyl record including track list,  
  producers and miscellaneous can be found here.
  MR2   1980/81     The Syndromes vs  
  The Merciful Release All-Stars  
  Featuring The Impossible Dreamers   		  Ready In The Rhythm Section     LP   Unrelated to the Sisters of Mercy, except for the identical  
  label name. Contact address of that label was however: 
  78 Sussex Sq, London W2  
  Groove inscriptions: A porky prime cut, 
  For swinging potatoes, Half baked pop music.  
  Check this website about that LP, 
  the people involved, the track list etc.
