Revision as of 15:25, 28 December 2013

A variety of Greek 7" bootlegs exists and features The Sisters of Mercy's track Body Electric in various forms, from various sources and in various combinations.

Body Electric - Floorshow (Live In Bologna 1985)

Greek Body Electric - Yellow cover (coming with gold-coloured vinyls)

Greek Body Electric - Purple cover (coming with red vinyls)

Greek Body Electric - Blue cover (coming with grey vinyls)

Greek Body Electric - Grey cover (coming with black-vinyl testpressings)

Remarks
This is the first series of Greek Body Electric bootlegs. It consists of 200 copies in total.

Vinyl colours differ and were distributed in the following numbers:

•  100 copies - golden vinyl in black/yellow cover

•   50 copies - red vinyl in black/purple cover

•   50 copies - grey vinyl in black/blue cover

Of course, there is also a line of 5 - we guess - testpressings with white labels on black vinyl.

The covers of these are black/grey, see the picture up right.

The cover front of this entire series counterfeits the original Body Electric (single) and shows

the same portrait of Pope Innocent X by Francis Bacon as the latter, but dyed in other colours.

Greek Body Electric "Die Hard" Box Set - Overview

Body Electric Bologna 1985 Box Set

When it comes to Greek bootlegs, never forget to mention the unevitable "Die Hard" box set.

This one comes in a leather cover and includes:

• a photo of the 1984 line-up of the band like the one on First And Last And Always (album)

• a common old Sisters logo pin badge

• a Sisters logo sticker

• the vinyl in grey colour

• and - for once - no t-shirt

Tracks are the same as on the regular version. For sure, this is a limited edition. Qe didn't keep track with all the load of Greek limited box sets. So it is not 100% confirmed that the number of copies is 10.
