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 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.
