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 Outdated threads will be purged over time.

There are 2 different versions:

Both are black boxes with center left a listing of all the tracks from 4x 12"s namely the Alice 12", Reptile House E.P., Temple 12" and Body & Soul 12" & center right the boxed Sisters logo ...
The difference is that one has a black lettering on silver background print and the other has white lettering printed directly onto the black box,

... but you should ask (or pm) Y for more info ...

This now legendary Box was made to promote the band signing to Wea/Warners



2) Wea Promo Only Box

Rumour has it it was a bootleg?

The offical box came with a press release and black and white photo and was pressed when the SISTERS signed for WEA (i can scan the sheets if required) I would say about 5 - 10 originals exist. There was a bootleg made and some guy in Leeds was knocking them out for a large amount of money around the time of 1992 ish. The odd thing is that when Andrew Pinnell researched the Heartland book WEA / Warners denied ever making them!
