Милосердное освобождение

Merciful Release — звукозаписывающий лейбл, основанный Эндрю Элдричем , фронтменом лидсской группы Sisters of Mercy . Как заявил Элдрич в одном из первых интервью, он хотел услышать себя по радио. Он и Гэри Маркс (Марк Пэрман) сыграли и записали первый сингл Sisters of Mercy "Damage Done" и выпустили тираж в тысячу копий. Эта пластинка была чем-то вроде коллекционной вещи.

В начале 1980-х группа выпустила несколько синглов на лейбле Merciful Release, контролируя формат и изображение пластинок, обычно в черном конверте с изображением по центру и логотипом в виде головы и звезды на задней стороне конверта. Ярким примером этого является картина Анри Матисса Blue Nude в золоте на черном для сингла «Алиса».

К 1984 году группа подписала дистрибьюторский договор с Warner Bros. Records ( Elektra в США), сохраняя при этом контроль над Merciful Release.

было выпущено несколько компакт-дисков В 1990-е годы на лейбле Merciful Release для MK Ultra : их альбомы Beluga Pop и This Is This , а также немецкой группы Scoda Blush.
