Silence Is Platinum - Box (front)


Release Notes

  • Catalogue#: PG-01
  • Format: 2 x 7" vinyl single(Box Set)
  • Released: 1987 / 1989


Remarks

  • A limited edition 1000 box set + 40 hand-numbered issues
  • The set comes in a black textured box with an embossed Merciful Release logo
    in silver print on the front. On the back side the boxes are plain black.
  • They contain two 7" vinyls, a copy of the concert poster, a review of the concert
    from Midnight magazine including further details about the American leg of the
    1985 Armageddon Tour and an inlay card with a numbering stamp.
  • The additional hand-numbered issues come in a red gatefold glossy sleeve.
    They were done and sold on the occasion of The Sisters of Mercy Convention in Leeds 1989.
  • The original reason behind the limited 40 red gatefold-edition was that some of the black
    boxes were damaged and were too expensive to remake, so the amount of boxes did not
    cover all the vinyls pressed.
  • Proof-sleeve and unnumbered promo copies do exist as well.
  • One vinyl is clear white, the other one is blueish green / olive marbled.
    Issues with one white and one black vinyl are also said to exist.
  • The vinyls have black labels with Merciful Release logo and detail the tracks on each side.
