Description
I have for sale this rare Fields Of The Nephilim live 7" which has been sitting in my cupboard for the past several decades. I bought it as a teenager at a record fair either in Bedford or Camden, London. It has rarely been played - and not since the 1990s.
Track list:
A1 Blue Water
A2 Preacher Man
B1 Trees Come Down
B2 Power
"This was one of the first Nephilim boots available. It's a four track 7" limited to 500 copies with a total running time of approx 16 minutes. A blue sleeve version also exists, so there may be more than 500 copies pressed.
It's an audience recording, but the sound quality is quite good, a little muddy (the result of flour on the tape deck?) so you may have to turn the treble up.
Three of the four tracks were recorded in Chelmsford on 16/04/87, the other at the Clarendon, Hammersmith during November '86. Side 1 features "Blue Water" and "Preacher Man", whilst Side 2 starts with the short version of "Trees Come Down" and followed by "Power".
The arrangement of "Blue Water" is fairly basic compared to the single version that came out about 6 months after this was recorded, perhaps the band hadn't quite finalised the ending, as it segues straight into "Preacher Man".
In all, a worthwhile addition for fans of the Neph's early sound, File under; static from the attic."

The handwriting on the number 475 is the same as on the brown sleeved records with earlier numbers. The chain of events that lead to this variation would be that the print shop didn't give the right number of brown sleeves they were asked for (or they couldn't all be used), and so more were printed for the later numbers that came out in blue.
To prove or disprove this, you'd need to see how other blue-sleeved versions were numbered.
