Giving Ground 7"

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.

Does anyone know if there's different versions of the Sisterhood's Giving Ground 7"?

I just bought a second copy the other day and noticed that the fabric of the sleeve felt different and that the lettering on the vinyl was a bit different as well. The catalouge number is the same on both.

I thought it might had been pressed in different countries or something.

Hope someone can help me out!

Welcome to HL - pull on over to General Chat and introduce yourself. :D

As for Giving Ground, I'm not aware of different pressings, but it is possible that one of your copies may be a bootleg.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Yeah, I've got two different versions of the single too. One sleeve has a small die-cut, the other has a larger die-cut. Both have paper labels, black with write type; I think the font used on each is slightly different. I'm pretty sure the ROGs are the same. I'll try and remember to dig em out and have a look over the weekend.
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?
