Lucretia 12" us promo in snakeskin sleeve

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 an official WEA promo (SAM 443 ), so there should be quite a few ... :wink: ...

In an old trading list it says 3000 copies, can't guarantee it's correct but the collector used to be a reliable source..
...I’ve never had the desire to make a record unless I have something to say...

I totally agree with you, Paul.

3'000 copies of a promo maybe possible, but not realistic for the Sisters at that time, IMO. You also have to take into account that only some (a few?) of these promos were issued with a snake skin sleeve.

In addition, Being645 is right, only the UK promo (SAM 443) was issued with the snake skin sleeve, not the Elektra US promo as the title of the thread might suggest :wink:

I've always liked this one very much with the snakeskin sleeve and am very happy with the one in my collection!

I was about to purchase this version when the record dealer told me over the phone it was not worth the 10 quid he was asking for it. I believed him b/c I had already bought a ton of Sisters stuff from him
