Giving Ground - 7" cover (back)


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.



Giving Ground - 7" label (Side A)
Giving Ground - 7" label (Side AA)

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.
