Sorry if this info is somewhere else but I couldn't find it. I just picked up one of what appears to be 3(?) different boot lps called "Enter The Sisters". This one has the crescent logo with "Enter The Sisters" below in a dark pink on black cover. Song list: Temple of Love, Burn, Floorshow, Anaconda, Andrenochrome, Alice, Body Electric, Lights, Heartland, Gimme Shelter.
They are all studio recordings, but some sound like the official release versions and others like demos or studio outtakes. Anyone know what the deal with this is? Any info on other boots titled "Enter The Sisters"?

"Enter The Sisters" Vol. 1 contains songs from 1981-1983. The songs have either been directly ripped from SGWBM or are the original rips from the original vinyls (which are floating around on the internet... and my PC)
Do the songs sound as if they have background fuzz and need cleaning up? Or are they good sounding?

They were not ripped from SGWBM, because I seem to think they were released in the late 80s as a "semi-official" release.
That is to say that the label that released it was legit, it was even going to the High Street shops... but Merciful hadn't authorized it at all and it's a definite bootleg.

Ah... when I said the label was legit, I was merely passing on what I heard. If it's on more than one label..
Though I have this odd feeling that it's Black Swan that tried to "officially" release it.

A bootleg containing recordings of the early singles, so it doesan't contain anything you can't get in better quality elsewhere. It was notable for being a really bad pressing, the needle jumped like buggery all over the damn thing. A Greek pressing I believe. At the time I remember seeing it on sale in one of the big-name record stores despite being a bootleg. I bet some obsessive collectors would possibly pay a lot for it.

and the red one:

one sold for 3.39 euros, i guess they're not worth a lot nowadays.

Thanks "Robertzombie", but it's a vinyl press that doesn't seem to coincide with any of the CD set. The sound quality is fine, no skips or background hiss. It's on Metal Speed and is definately a boot. I've seen other boot lp's also titled "Enter the Sisters", just wondering what their source material was. Thanks for the ebay links, by the way. It just seems like such an odd bootleg. 2 songs that sound like they are different versions, but the rest is straight off of legit issued records that are easy enough to get. I was hoping for something live or maybe studio outtakes. Oh well.

Had a Blue one, bought it in 1986 - so it's been around for a while. Mine played fine - it if i remember correctly, it was definitely a Greek pressing.
Sold mine on EBay a couple of years ago, went for about £30 I think!

I've got one in excellent condition. Blue cover, Black Swan records. It also has insert (a band photo). Sounds just fine.
Too bad it might be the only TSOM bootleg I've got

The only bootleg you have, and it's all official material.shagriml wrote:I've got one in excellent condition. Blue cover, Black Swan records. It also has insert (a band photo). Sounds just fine.

Poor you, go console yourself here and get some more bootlegs.
I've it in red, Metal Speed. No jumps, sound is fine enough, although definitely well off the quality of the originals. Volume levels vary quite a bit. The running order works fairly well for a continuous listen, surprisingly enough. Gimme Shelter ends after the solo "War..." bit. My money's on it originally having come from a 46 minute blank tape on account of that.
For a long long time it was almost the only way you could get decent-ish quality versions of the original Body Electric/Adrenochrome, so I s'pose a lot of fans would have paid a lot of money for it back in the day. Nowadays it's more curiosity value.
There was a filthy rumour on Dominion about 90/91 ish that it was "supposed" to be their proper first LP, but when the release fell through they just issued everything as singles. Naughty naughty.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
