aparently theres only 100 made, so getting one for a fiver is a bargain, maybe buy a few and sell them on e bay!!

As I've stated already in this thread, I doubt there are only one hundred copies.
Got mine from Spirit this morning, though the b*stards at Royal Mail had conspired, despite cardboard reinforcement, to bend the cover round the edge of the record.
Sent Spirit some photos and conveniently enough they happen to have a couple of spare sleeves.
Incidentally, I paid £10 for mine which I think was reasonable.
Was it the vocal mix you heard on XFM?

Ah sorry, that was to Taylor.
Basically, the spirit and Juno copies appear to be identical.

I got mine for Juno very quick deleveary.
btw there
dirtyfunker@hotmail.com should anyone wanna contact them
the remix itself is pretty naff I wouldnt be suprised if dirty funker = god squad. the mixes are done in a similer way.
i think the juno ones are the same as the spirit, there BOTH unofficial anyway.
Its a pity they didnt use the alice 1993 version as a source rather than the 82 one.
best

to all fear, i thought the remixes were really good, heard them in a rock stars club in italy 2 weeks ago and the crowd went mad for it, especially the dub mix

Got mine the other day. I quite like the cover, probably more to do with the slightly misquoted lyrics printed on the rear cover. Haven't listened to it yet except the snippets off the Spirit website.

the mixes are starting to grow a little now
if this is getting club play, xfm etc it would siggest that thise might even be official!

Haven't listened to my copy from Juno yet as it's about 100 miles away at my parents' place. Looking forward to checking it out tho. I doubt that it's official myself - as QB pointed out they stopped using Rise & Reverberate a long time ago, and if the lyrics on the sleeve are wrong too...

Only the spelling of tranks as tranqs and crawl instead of call.
They've cut it up and used the first verse twice.
I seem to recall Kylie having some success with a song that started out as a bootleg.

Always part of the charm of any self-respecting bootleg!

they stopped using the "caslon antique" font ages ago too.
judging by the website and the tickets for the summer tour earlier this year, the current font of choice is "arial narrow" with the kerning adjusted so the lettering is closer together...

You can click on the search button at the top of the screen, type 'Sisters of Mercy' then search and you should find it.
There are other sites that have the record as well...
