Body Electric - Floorshow (Live In Bologna 1985)
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.

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. We didn't keep track with all the load of Greek limited box sets. So it is not 100% confirmed whether the number of copies is definitely 10.
