Remarks

This flexis comes in a white standard envelope and appears to be a picture postcard

dedicated to the Polish writer and Nobel Prize laureate Henryk Sienkiewicz

(5 May 1846 – 15 November 1916), who is best known for his novel Quo Vadis .

The track title is typed on a sticker in Polish language on the back of the card

saying: SISTERS OF MERCY and below that: CZARNA PLANETA (i.e. Black Planet)

Postcard flexis regularly play at 33 ⅓ rpm and are recorded only on the front side.
