What do you guys know about this? Real?
A promo was made but the real album was canceled?

People on this thread are saying it's a bootleg / CD-R

Which reminds me, that thread should probably come over here int Trading.

s**t.. i'm glad i stopped bidding on it.
hmm... is everyone sure it's just a bootleg?
it looks legit to me. i have lots of sisters promos from elektra records and they all look the same. but i could be wrong. maybe this one is fake. i have never heard that there should have been a promo for "slight case part 2" or even talks about releasing such an album. but i do remember someone writing about "more (1993)" here on the forum some time ago.

has anyone heard "giving ground (1994)" and "more (1993)"?

More 1993 is a remixed version of More. See the Wiki for more details.

God knows what that Giving Ground version is.

*edit* I was wrong

The autograph is legit but it is a bootleg, he tried to sell it a while ago but for some reason his ebay account got pulled!

Oh I see. Yeah I got the groove and power mix of MORE on an unofficial collection called "tempe of rarities".

One thing that I think is strange about this "slight case part 2" is the choice of songs. Why isn't "Ribbons" on it instead of "You Could Be The One"... and why is "Untitled" and "Sandstorm" on it.

They're nice tracks but hardly two of their better songs. And why aren't their more songs from "First And Last And Always" like "Marianne" and "Some Kind Of Stranger".

Whoever put this greatest hits collection together doesn't know what he/she is talking about. Just my personal taste I guess.

But maybe one can't put all the "greater" songs on one CD. There has got to be good songs left over on the regular albums so people will be motivated to buy them too.

But still, if you're gonna release a part 2 to the very successful " a slight case of overbombing" do it properly. Just my two cents.

If this is a fake promo, it's illegal. It's illegal to print Elektra and WEA on the CD. That's why I'm not sure if this is fake or not. There are lots of unofficial collections like "some boys wander by mistake" and "temple of rarites" and much more. But no collection that I have seen has the band's record company's name, logo, copyright, promonumber etc. Which causes me to wonder.

And then there's the autograph on the front. It looks real but could be fake or printed. But why would Andrew sign a promo CD. Unless it was signed to a fan. I don't think that he signed all the promo CDs for this album before they reached various shops, companies, radiostations etc.

And also.. his autograph is on a sticker that clearly says "greatest hits volume two".

What do you guys think?

I see. Well I'm glad I stopped bidding.

I remember buying stuff from you on ebay. I can't remember what it was though

You get to 140 quid before you worry if it's a bootleg

I'm too eager when it comes to online buying. I usually shoot first and then ask questions. I felt pretty sure that it was real. But then when I had calmed down, something started to not feel right.

That greek guy shows up from time to time on Ebay. I've bought some things off him in the past with no problems. He always seems to have a good mix of offical releases and bootlegs, but most of them are overpriced.

He's had at least 5 accounts that I know about.

To me it's an even tie between being real and fake. Some things speak for it and some against it.

Haven't Syria done a number of Sisters covers? I think I remember hearing Numb/SKOS (and thinking it was s**t).

I wonder... would that be the greek guy who had a musicstore in Brussels not far from the Ancienne Belgique?
He had a lot of Sisters stuff (when I was at highschool in Brussels I spent a lot of time and cash in his store). Last I heard from him was that he had returend to Greece...
