Reptile House E.P (Test Press)

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.

Hi Everyone,

Just a Few Questions About Reptile House Test Press.

1, How Many Were Pressed,

2, Are They All Hand Numbered,

3, How Many Came With Lyric Sheet/Promo Insert,

4, How many are Numbered/Signed By His Lordship (Von),

5, Whos Got Either of Above.

Cheers Reptile. 8)

1, How Many Were Pressed,

Mayking usually made 25 Test Pressings for runs over 2000.
12 for runs between 1000 and 2000 and 3-6 for <1000.
Reptile House has probably 25 of them.

2, Are They All Hand Numbered,

The two RH TP I know of are hand numbered, however they are probably not numbered by Mayking. They should have the usual catalog number, date, side and 'Mayking'.

3, How Many Came With Lyric Sheet/Promo Insert,

The Test Pressings don't have Lyric Sheet/Sleeve/Promo Insert. If you seen one with it, it was added later.

4, How many are Numbered/Signed By His Lordship (Von),

No idea... mine has a number, but it's not signed.

5, Whos Got Either of Above.

I have one and Robin has a scan of a different one.
