Mercyful Fate ‎– “Live In Copenhagen ’82” LP 1987 Stone Records, Inc. ‎MV 16 (RARE/BOOTLEG)

Mercyful Fate ‎– Live In Copenhagen '82 LP

The Mercyful Fate ‎– “Live In Copenhagen ’82” LP is a rare bootleg that was released in 1987 from Stone Records, Inc. ‎The catalog number is MV 16 if you have the first pressing. There are five other pressings (4 in 1987 and one more in 2011). The country of origin of the first pressing is not known, although later pressings are believed to have originated in France. The album has no writing on the label, and it’s just a blank white label, as can be seen below.

This release is blocked from sale on Discogs; what versions of this album become available on eBay from time to time—the last copy sold for approximately $400.

According to King Diamonds Facebook page, “Mercyful Fate will be playing an unspecified number of concerts throughout Europe during the summer of 2020, including Copenhell.”

Mercyful Fate will consist of the “9” lineup, featuring: Hank Shermann, King Diamond, Bjarne T Holm, Mike Wead, and Joey Vera — while Timi Hansen is away Joey Vera (Armored Saint, Fates Warning) to fill in.

The setlist will consist of songs from the very first “mini-LP,” the “Melissa” album, and the “Don’t Break The Oath” album, plus some brand new unreleased songs.
