Giving Ground gold sleeve

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

That looks like the black sleeve under yellow-tinted lighting to me. Very suspicious.

next thing they claim, is that the two hands holding the camera, is not a reflexion, but actual cover art shinging trough on the gold sleeve.. :lol:

Can't say if it's official or not but from my eye it is indeed gold and not from gold light. The way to tell this is by looking at the surface it's on. If it was golden light then I would think that golden tone would affect the surface the record is on as well. Not that anyone really cares what I'm saying anyway... 8)

My guess:
Yes, it is official. And black, I think.
Does it say "gold sleeve" somewhere in the listing or caption?

check the bottom corners.. it's black on yellow lighting.. even the texting is influenced..
the light doesn't reflect on the background, as fabric simply doesn't reflect..
the lightsource is top left, about a meter above the object
the sleeve is in bad shape..


you can make this look any colour you want..

Exactly what I was going to say. It doesn't even look gold to me. It's just picking up the camera flash.

Another myth busted.

Now, I wonder if the gold Damage Dones were the same.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

The warm colours suggest that both camera and memorystick are vintage. :von:

The warm golden shimmy on the sleeve suggests that not only is the cover very gay but so is the camera man and the owner of said sleeve.
