Which are the most rare bootlegs ?

Have you established a good reputation at HL and got some Sisters stuff to sell or trade with the community? Or are you searching for that elusive ultra rare live bootleg from 1988? Ever had a bad experience with a trader on Ebay? Let us all know here. Outdated threads will be purged over time.

..and by that i don't mean just "armagedon outtakes" or "haloween's day" but the even more elusive stuff.

Luca some years ago posted a few but i cant seem to find the topic, but i do remember "grief" on gold vinyl and "victims of circumstance" on gatefold sleeve.

So any help is highly appreciated to make a definitive list.

Is that just a photocopied sheet stuck on the cover?

Is this version also rare?

Damn!

So it must be the rather cheap home-made looking sleeve that's worth all the money (since the disc sounds like crap). :lol:

Write "Made in Greece. 15/50 copies" on the back of the sleeve & stuff an old t shirt in it.
Bingo!
Mega rare!

to be clear; there was no gatefold Angel Heart - there was a variant sleeve design but it was not gatefold.

oh - and the Reverberation sleeve is not a fake - that is what it would have looked like, if it (and the discography) had been issued.

Specifically - ref Angelheart -

A special edition of 6 copies was released (gifted to friends of the producer) in the same sleeve but without any lettering on the front cover. These were hand numbered on the rear of the sleeve and on the disc. The disc itself had plain labels and a centre.

Info taken from the Reverberation unfinished/unreleased discography dating from 1988.
