Sisters' shirt,which era is it?

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's a bootleg shirt and I would guess it was on sale in record stores around 1994/1995.

Aw, it's far from being the worst bootleg shirt ever made.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Anyone remember the wonderful article in UTR about how awful bootleg t shirts were? I remember a stunning, unforgettable reproduction of a less than classy purple 10th anniversary shirt in it.
