Notes

The Sisters spent months in the studio. The final mixes ended up not used for the album. Eldritch decided some of the earlier "rougher" mixes were better.

Andreas from April Tears about recording in PUK studios...

"...Beside the grand piano there were alot of old mastertapes. Amongst others The Sisters of Mercys "Vision Thing" and Depeche Modes "Music For the Masses". Sometimes I regret I didn't smuggle them out of there. I still can't understand what all those mastertapes were doing there. I swear that there were at least 60 Sisters masters in there. What were they really thinking of?"
