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 1980s!), 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 obtained 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 behind these rumours ...
