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

I never heard about a possible album title. But I‘d also like to know.

Update: So I found out it was actually supposed to be made Glorious Summer and it was on the Sisters official website

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".

That was the alternative title to Gift.

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.
