Alice black/white cover is a bootleg

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Why do people manage to flog Alice with it's balck/white cover on e-bay as a rare 1st release when it was (and I can remember when it was released) a bootleg?

For the same reason they sell the Damage Done boot for the real stuff... They don't know better... :innocent:

I actually meant the fairly common white and gold cover. Andrew Eldritch told me it was a bootleg in 1984.
