bargain 'official promo' on ebay

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.

I doubt it's an official promo as the tracks are copied off vinyl...

not an official item. the lps were pressed in greek at a time when there were no copyrights in greek and italy. thats why these records also were sold in official stores like the wom in germany for a short time as a kind of import release - which did happen with other releases in about 1990-1993, too, than these "windows" in law were fixed
have a look at the artwork. the origimal lp had the same frontcover (different colour) as the walk away 12", indicating that it was a bootleg

Hi one and all,

If me old memory serves me well...... Enter The Sisters was originally a bootleg LP back in the late Eighties of all the early eps of sorts...... Not official just an 'official boot'..... In the days before 'Some Girls' was a twinkle in Eldo's bank account..... You could get it in most independent record shops back then but nay it ain't official...
