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 by the release of this single, Andrew Eldritch
secured an advance payment of 25,000 £ from the
record company for an album to be produced by his
version of the band. As a matter of consequence,
Giving Ground was followed by the album Gift.
The Sisterhood are: James Ray, Patricia Morrison, Alan Vega, Lucas Fox & Andrew Eldritch.
