Remarks
- According to Discogs there are two editions of this box set.
- The first edition comes in a black box with a b/w banderole.
- It also has a red sticker on the front, which is hand-numbered up to 500.
- The second edition comes in either a black or a white box with the same banderole,
- but the red sticker is not numbered anymore or even missing.
- It is not known how many boxes were made of this edition.
- Some misprinted versions have also surfaced.
- There, a paper strip in the shape of the banderole is glued onto the cardboard box.
- The printing and arrangement is very similar, but the title of the EP is misspelt as "Reding '91"
- The red sticker is missing and the numbering appears handwritten on the paper strip.
- The contents of all these boxes are identical.
- Other CD - bootlegs from the same event include The Neon Dream and Brothers & Sisters.
Oddities of this Release
- All over the box set the article of the band's name is omitted.
- The EP title is misspelt on the picture disc as "Live Reding 1991".
- The name of Andrew Eldritch on the poster is completely wrong spelt "Endrew Eldrich".
- On top of that, the photo used for the poster was not taken at Reading Festival 1991,
- but in Bremen 1984 and is a detail of one of the pictures in this collection.
- Also, the images on the postcards and the one from the picture disc are definitely not
- from Reading Festival. (Andrew Eldritch had a short hair cut then.)
- The head and star logo on the stickers and on the banderole is mirror-inverted.
- The most remarkable characteristics of this release is, however,
- the version of He's Got The Whole World In His Hands,
- which was only performed once in Sisters History - here, at this festival.
Some more information about "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands" can be found in the song's page.
