All Tracks Demo Versions
This is the second PALAZZOGRASSI PRODUCTION in a series of three. The first was "SILENCE IS PLATINUM", a limited edition box set of two 7" EPs and the third, which is scheduled for Spring 1988 is "REVERBERATION ACROSS THE NATION": a document of THE SISTERS OF MERCY show in Rome on 2nd May 1985. This will be a strictly limited edition of only 50 numbered copies, each with a complete SISTERS OF MERCY discography booklet.

Remarks on released and unreleased issues

Releases, promos and test pressings

  • The original was limited to 1000 copies, pressed on black vinyl, and had a numbered smooth sleeve
Originals on black vinyl with numbered sleeves that do have an additional print on the inside are also said to exist.
  • As both Phantom Twins wanted to have the number 1 issue, two copies numbered 0001 were done.
  • Allegedly, some promo copies of this original were manufactured. The sleeves of these are grey on the front instead of black,
they are not numbered and have some additional print on the inside. No information on how many of these were done
or distributed available so far.
  • A further 500 copies were pressed, numbered up to 1500/1000


  • Later on, the single was reissued with a more stable, glossy sleeve which and including copies on white vinyl.
Both (black and white vinyl) editions are not numbered.
So, although the cover states the EPs were limited to 1000 copies, some owners of this record
had to note that the white box on the sleeve for the individual numbering was left blank.


  • Under catalogue# PG002 (instead of VOC7), a white labelled test pressing was done
the sleeve of which only a dull matt proof, without any lamination or numbering. This test
run consisted of two copies only. However, Palazzograssi were not content with the quality
of this pressing and chose for another pressing plant, hence the different catalogue#.


Cover Variations
According to our information, Palazzograssi experimented a lot with different colours for the sleeve of this record.
Insofar, the following variations were done but never got released or distributed:

  • an unnumbered yellow test-proof for the original release
to check the sleeve quality and to decide about their final colour
  • a further test-proof, this time in light grey with red finish and additional print on the inside
  • another test-proof in purple
  • a limited edition of 26 copies in gatefold sleeves numbered A - Z were envisaged as well.
Test-proofs were done, but the idea was abandoned later. These sleeves were, of course, not numbered.
The colour of the print inside the gatefold is silver-metallic.


We do not know, whether anybody ever got hold of any of them test-proofs,
there seems to be evidence enough, though, for - at least - their former existence.

Insofar, all kind of further (and reliable) information on these, including photos, should be enormously welcome.
