Latest revision as of 23:23, 22 January 2017

Recorded Live at the Brixton Academy, London, UK on June 29th, 1983

with the classic early Sisters line-up shortly before release of the Temple Of Love / Heartland single in October 1983.

Issued in basically four known editions. The first edition comes with a variety of coloured copy sheets of the same motive

fixed with four pieces of adhesive tape to the otherwise white custom covers. The drawing in these sheets shows the painting

Two Girls by Bulgarian expressionist painter Jules Pascin, who was also known as "The Prince of Montparnasse".

A detail of the same painting was later used for the cover art of the bootleg Dead Flowers.
