Giving Ground was the spoiler-single released by
Andrew Eldritch's version of The Sisterhood to stop
Wayne Hussey's and Craig Adams' version of the band
(who later became The Mission) using The Sisterhood
as their band name. The fact that Giving Ground had
become a good record was allegedly a matter of pure
fortuitous coincidence. The validity of this assertion
is however debatable, to say the least.
Anyway in releasing this single, Andrew Eldritch
adverted that Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams
could proceed with their commonly founded band
under the name of The Sisterhood.
The Sisterhood are: James Ray, Patricia Morrison, Alan Vega, Lucas Fox & Andrew Eldritch.
Further information on the release of the Giving Ground single is also available here @wikipedia.
