Palazzograssi Records is the trading name of The Phantom Twins, two nice blokes, (not as widely assumed from Leeds), but from elsewhere in the great Socialist Republic that was south Yorkshire in the 80's! Whose sole aim in their time as Palazzograssi was to bring "interesting and quality recordings by The Sisters Of Mercy which are unavailable through Merciful Release". Groovy.
It's fairly clear that Palazzograssi obtain their recordings from a source very close to the band, so it has been the subject of much speculation how closely connected Palazzograssi was to Andrew Eldritch or other members of the band. It has been remarked that control over your own band's bootlegs is a very good way to make money from a band while circumventing the control of, and financial obligations to, a record company. On the other hand, taking a straight look at Palazzosgrassi's production, it does not seem very likely there was much truth behing these rumours ...
