Anyone knows how many issues that came out? I have volume 2 (the one mentioned in Heartland issue 1), so I guess at least two? I have the yellow sleeve of vol 2. I think the first copies came with yellow, and the rest with white (200 in total). Can someone confirm that?

Sorry if I was unclear, but I was talking about the fanzine, not the record! :)

I think taylor is talking about the fanzine as well, saying that
the cover of the first issue looked like the cover of the Cryptic Flowers bootleg in skyblue colour,
while the second issue looked like the cover of the Demos LP also in skyblue colour
and the first 25 copies came with a numbered tape that had a pink cover.
Some copies of this second issue had white covers instead as skyblue ones.

And finally, the yellow issue you've got seems to be an unauthorised repress done by other than the original authors ...


:wink: ... pictures were surely nice, taylor ... and corrections where I might fail ... :wink: ...

Ok, sorry... :oops: Anyways, I bought it from a dealer in the UK 1988 or possibly 1989, so it's old. We bought two, and got one yellow, which I got, and one white which my friend has. I just thought it would be weird to do the second pressings in yellow if the first was white.

Oh yes ... :D ... I wish I could put it all up into the Wiki to have it all compiled in one place, but it's just too much for me to open up a Sisters Fanzine section ... still struggling through the bootlegs and recordings section...

And anyway, it's also nice to have some rare things to discover in the depths of Heartland ... ;D :lol: ...
