Latest Sisters purchase

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.

It was nr 3 actually.

The sleeve is the same as :
http://www.discogs.com/image/R-852264-1165437155.jpeg
with some stickers on it: "Limited Edition, Special Numbered Sleeve" and a transparent one that says: Palazzograssi Productions Reverberation Across The Nation. It comes in a plastic tranasparent Palazzograssi sleeve.

The vinyl is like "we're all aware of that" with transparant Palazzograssi Productions stickers on it. In silver marker there's 14/50 written on it.

On the back there's a glued A4 with: "Reverberation Across The Nation" and "Palazzograssi Productions and the Phantom Twins proudly present Limited Edition Number 14 (number handwritten) of fifty copies only".

I'll post some pics later on!

It's always the question if it's "real" or not. I've never seen another version of it and it was never produced for the market...

The stickers look genuine to me. Also the Plastic wrapped around the sleeve with the Palazzo-logo gives it a feeling of authenticity (too much trouble to counterfeit IMO).

Conclusion: Dunno, anyone?

Paul? is the backside a white paper clued on the cover?
The shinning red thing on front is also a sticker?

Looks nice.!

Just got 'Enter The Sisters' again. Not the original tho, got 2001 scratched on the run off, but for £7 and in mint condition I'm not complaining. It's a start (I lost my entire record collection a few years ago to burglars who robbed my home and finished the job by burning the whole place down) After a few years of serious depression over the matter I'm starting to buy vinyl again, tho some things could never be replaced :cry:
I don't doubt and I don't take direction....

The red thing is the Palazograzzi logo on the transparent plastic shrink/sleeve.
The white paper is indeed glued to the back.

whatever this was meant to be once - its really nice. palazzograssi is simply something one has to love. reverberation across the nation would indicate likely not an italian gig, but we're all aware of that is also simply fantastic, the picturedisc is among my very favourites
love is just a shot away

To me it looks wonderful, anyway ... :D ...

Only the Phantom Twins could tell, whether it's real ... however, since someone form HL traded it to you ...
I'd rather count this as a pro ...

What are the tracks on this vinyl, Paul?
