Not sure.
The font on the front (for The Sisterhood) looks a bit off to me.
"the sisterhood" looks like those letters you had your name on your Harrington jacket done in. :lol:

I've seen this off and on eBay for over a year already. Now there's something new about it:
seller wrote:$50 for 24 months *opens an installment calculator layer ...

i presume this is a newly pressed/available item as i believe the recording only recently became available. don't any of you ever feel like someone is taking the p*ss out of you big time?
so blase are they about selling this they havent even got the listing text to match the picture! (it sates it is 9/15 when the picture shows 7/15. of course thats an easy mistake to make iF you happen to own all 15 copies, having just had them made!)
for the cost of having them pressed i may go into the ltd edition market myself while there are idiots prepared to pay this sort of price every time a new one comes out....

That's mad. Pay approx £190 to hear something in worse quality than the version that can be downloaded for free.

I f**king hate the fact that shared audio from the net ends up on these rubbish bootlegs. I understand why many trading rings are secluded.

Genuine poster collecting is crazy competitive - contemporary signed stuff in mint or nm goes for a fortune. Don't see much signed by the pair of them, short window, few opportunities.
Still crazy expensive but some have more money than sense ;)

Insane! And shipping is $168.25.
Maybe $168.25 for the whole thing would be reasonable.

you can book personal appearances from real people for that money (not that Eldritch does that sort of thing i'm sure but 80's music stars who do include marc almond and toyah for example)
