Comments:
This was the first show for Mercyful Fate in the USA.

Slayer was announced to be the opening act at the show that was originally scheduled to the 18th of october, but that show was cancelled, due to Mercyful Fate's equipment was held up at customs. Local punk band Final Warning was added as the opening act instead at the rescheduled show on the 20th.

The encore had the "Nun" come out in her habit. King then strips her and "crucifies" her. By the second date of the tour in San Francisco the "nun" was no longer a part of the show.

On the 19th of October, Mercyful Fate did an appearance at the For What It's Worth Records And Tapes in Beaverton, Oregon, USA. (A suburb of Portland.)
It said Testpressing at the moment when it was sold.
No matrix could be found here.
