Heartland

This is something I've been wondering about for years.
Why is it that on a lof ot Sisters bootlegs, and other bands bootlegs for the matter, the songs are misspelled.

There are lots of bootlegs with misspelled song titles, a word missing here and there or even words are that missing a letter.

Why is this?
Don't the people who make these bootlegs know anything about the band?
Seems like they are not familar with the band and the songs.
Or is it to bypass some copyright law?
Or are they just lazy and don't double check the songlist before they print it for the CD?

Maybe they're just out to rip off the fans and don't give a sh-t.

cheap bastards

Not just Sisters bootleggers. Most bootlegs you find will have inaccurate information. For instance, Bauhaus covered a song by Brian Eno called "Third Uncle", and not, as this bootleg says, "Uncle Bob".

this is the problem mainly with the unreleased tracks. you know, they not so die hard fans to look such deep in this matter.
anyway, me think it's cool
my favorite one is "the acid rain" on labels, but it was rather joke.
for example:

Burn (Lightning')
Heartland (The Hard Land)
Adrenochrome (All in Chrome)
Possession (Shapes of Dignity)
Floorshow (Shore, Show & Amber)
Temple of Love (Love Cathedral)
Anaconda (Abysses)
Alice (Malice)
Watch (Close for Looking)
Train (All in Line)
Ghostrider/ Louie Louie (Louie, Where Did You Go?)

Well, on the latest "official" reissue of a Sisters album the record company didnt even get the album title right - VISOIN THING....

yeah i saw that... sad.

How scary....

Other examples:

The boot Amphetamine is not the Chicago 91 gig as written on the cover but Böblingen 91.

Bei Mir Bist Du Schön misses a few tracks on the booklet.

On 1996, Train is called Black Horizon. Other wrong comments as well.

On Visions At The Forum,
Romeo Down = Till The Morning Is Gone
We Are The Same Susanne = We Are The Saints....

There are some odd track titles printed on the disc of "The Ohm" bootleg I have:

1. Reflect (Lucretia)
2. Bons (Ribbons)
3. A Prayer (Dominion)
4. My Heart (Heartland)
5. Deep (Dr Jeep)
7. Hey Now (This Corrosion)
8. Love (Temple of Love)
9. Sight (Vision Thing)

On The Wine - best boot track ever!

On the boot "Possession" (Amsterdam Paradiso 83) :
- Anaconda is called "Zero"
- Emma is called "Emmaline"
- Adrenochrome is called "Sisters of mercy"
- Kiss the carpet is called "Kiss"
- Body electric is called "Louie Louie"
- Lights is called "In the rain"

Etc.

Before anyone else says it, here's the most famous misspell ever : on Vision Thing, Bon Jovi is called "The Sisters of Mercy".

anaconda is known as "She will" too
(psychedelic sessions? cannot remember where i saw it)

on the "m'eldritch luna" bootleg

shine = summer
driver = crash and burn
sleep = romeo down
flood II = flood I
flood I = flood II
train 2000 = top nite out

nice...

On Merciless, Flood II is called Never Again...

There is that band which hasn´t made an album for a while.
There are those manic fans aching for new songs.
Give a well known song a new name, and there will be enough people to buy it blindly.
Voila: The money is made.
Am I pessimistic?

Sometimes giving songs different names was a deliberate ploy by the bootleggers. Remember booting was/is illegal so it was sometimes done to cover up their actions.

Something like this:

1. Reflect
2. Bons
3. A Prayer
4. My Heart
5. Deep
7. Hey Now
8. Love
9. Sight

... was done to a) confuse the pressing plant "Hey! This is a Sisters bootleg!" and b) to confuse customs officials who, it was hoped, wouldn't recognise the dubious nature of the product during importation.

I even have a double disc CD called "Posseison" (sic)



Ah, well, I also have a Metallica boot that says "Master of Puppies"...

IZ.

SIT!

Back in early 90s I bought a Polish audio cassette of The Queen's "Innuendo" to my brother and there was a song titled as "The Snow Must Go On"

really this from 1991, skeleton songs one?
i've got one and apart from the "zero", "in the train" etc., title of album is proper on cds and covers and it is "possession"

I like it, and why not?
