I remember hearing that the name for the projected album after Overbombing was Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?, is this true or am I just misremembering. Would work with the song Summer

Not something I’ve ever heard.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

Update: So I found out it was actually supposed to be made Glorious Summer and it was on the Sisters official websiteNineWhileNine wrote: ↑14 Feb 2024, 18:32 I remember hearing that the name for the projected album after Overbombing was Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?, is this true or am I just misremembering.

I don't that was intended to be an album title. It was used as a title on the "Record News" page, explaining that the planned release of Summer as the first of a series of independent singles wasn't going to happen. But it was never explicitly said to be an album title.
It is of course a reference to a Shakespeare quote: "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York" - which could in turn be viewed as a reference to Summer being the first release after the escape from WEA ("the winter of our discontent").
Being of a certain age, it's impossible for me to hear that Shakespeare quote without adding "and consign their parts most private to a Rutland tree".

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

For you guys, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people, wasn't it?
But more serious: I always wondered whether the March Violets' excellent _Made Glorious_ album's title wasn't Si Denbigh's sly dig at Von

Doubt it. Best buddies, still are. Which if you think about both Eldritch and Si's working relationships is a bit of a bloody miracle.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
